Safety
This website is designed to help faculty and staff in the Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering and Technology effectively fulfill their responsibility to protect the health and safety of employees and students, and to contribute to a culture of safety in the college. The college has developed a comprehensive plan to help create a safe and healthy work environment. As part of that plan, a number of resources have been developed to help faculty and staff in this important endeavor. Many of these resources are found on this website as described below. In addition, the College Health & Safety Officer is available to provide help and support as needed (801-422-6589).
Training Guide - The training guide is an online tool designed to help faculty and staff identify what health and safety training must be completed by the individuals they supervise. The training should be completed before those individuals engage in their work. The training guide also provides a means to record the health and safety training that has been completed.
Safety Snapshots - A set of short training presentations related to health and safety have been prepared for use in research group meetings or anywhere you feel would be useful. If you wish, the College Health & Safety Officer is available to present and discuss any of these topics. This can be arranged by contacting the Health & Safety officer (801-422-6589).
