It is the intent of the University of Houston-Clear Lake to provide a safe and healthy working environment for its employees, students, and visitors. To do this, we must constantly be aware of conditions in all areas that can produce or lead to injuries. Your cooperation in detecting hazards, reporting dangerous conditions and controlling work-place hazards is a condition of employment. We all bear the primary responsibility to work safely. A safe and healthy work-place cannot happen by itself. Therefore, safety is everyone's responsibility.

 

1.1 Each year, accidents, injuries, and illnesses have caused suffering and financial loss to employees of this agency and their families. In addition, accidents and illnesses keep us from providing full service to the people of Texas who depend on us. Report accidents immediately.

 

1.2 The Safety and Health Committee is an advisory committee to the Administration and Facilities Resources Committee (FRC). It is responsible for the oversight of planning, implementation, and assessment of safety conditions on the University of Houston-Clear Lake Campus. This committee reviews accident reports, reports of safety concerns, or unsafe conditions.
