Safety Committee

Here for your safety!

The PLU Safety Committee typically meets bi-monthly. We come together to discuss recent incidents/injuries, causes, and remedial actions; building safety inspection results; local and state agency visits and, if any, identified violations; PLU’s occupational health, safety and accident prevention program; risk management; and safety initiatives.

Some of the topics we have addressed include: safe driving, violence in the workplace, workplace ergonomics, chemical hazards, community safety education, lock down emergency response, use of personal protective equipment, skateboard use on campus, and hearing conservation.
