  2. Supervisors are responsible for developing and maintaining a proper safety attitude for among their employees in themselves and in those they supervise. They should ensure that all operations are performed in a safe manner.
  3. Employees are responsible for doing their work in a safe manner at all times. Employees also have a safety responsibility to their coworkers, visitors and staff. It is the responsibility of all Campus Facilities employees to understand and demonstrate accepted safety rules and regulations.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure the greatest degree of safety for our employees. We can achieve this by working together in Campus Facilities.
