Unit Safety Committees

Each Unit Safety Committee (USC) consists of 5 to 7 members, including management and staff employees. Each USC will appoint a safety coordinator as the chairperson to represent its group. The goals of the USC are to improve safety awareness, improve communication on safety issues, reduce the accident rate, and implement safe methods and practices.

USC’s play an important role in the team effort of maintaining and enhancing workplace safety. Their principal function is to help foster safe conditions and practices, assist OEHS, upon request, on investigation of accidents, and to improve safety in the workplace.
