Policy on Safety and Health
It is the policy of the North Carolina School of the Arts to provide safe and healthful working conditions for all employees. The Health and Safety Program is intended to serve that policy objective and to achieve compliance with statutory mandates which impose standards related to occupational safety and environmental health.
The Program’s effectiveness depends upon awareness of and active participation in its components by faculty members, administrators, and staff employees. It is recognized that the workplace cannot always be risk free. However, through work planning and management, the safety hazards associated with jobs can usually be identified and safety measures can be applied to eliminate those that are controllable. It is a basic responsibility of supervisors to know the safety and health procedures that are involved, instruct their employees, provide equipment to do the job safely, and monitor compliance. Employees have the responsibility to follow safety procedures and use safety equipment.
The North Carolina School of the Arts has an active Safety Committee which meets monthly. Any questions or concerns may be directed to that committee by contacting the Human Resources office. |
