The Health and Safety Committee of the Faculty Assembly assists in overseeing the safety and appropriate operation of academic facilities, and helps to ensure that instructional practices support the safe operation of these facilities. Working with the Director of Facilities and the Director of Campus Safety, the Committee performs an annual review of academic facilities and instructional practices. Any concerns that faculty or students have regarding health and safety may be reported to the Committee, which will work with the appropriate department to ensure corrective action is taken.
The Committee also works with the academic departments to identify new equipment and practices which might improve the academic working environment.
