Committee and Safety Plan

Health &  Safety Committee

The District Health and Safety Committee meets on a regular basis (at least quarterly) to review areas of concern to assure a safe and healthy environment for all students, faculty, staff and visitors. The Health and Safety Committee evaluates and makes recommendations regarding District health and safety policies and procedures.

In case of an chemical accident or  hazardous spill, areas of the labs are clearly marked with signage, and emergency equipment is available for immediate response to the incident.

 

The committee initiates, develops, reviews and updates District procedures concerning 
health and safety issues, responds to new initiatives as they arise, and monitors the 
effectiveness of current procedures.

In the case of a fire in the lab, protective blankets and shut-off valves are clearly displayed.
