The University of Washington has established ten Organizational Health and Safety Committees (HSC). The purpose of HSCs is to actively engage employees in efforts to reduce illnesses and injuries in the workplace. Each member of the HSCs serves as a source of health and safety information for their colleagues and ensures that their unit’s health and safety documents are up to date on an annual basis. In addition, HSCs review the accident/incident reports pertinent to their area for evaluation and resolution of any ongoing issues. Members serve a two-year term based on a calendar year. The College of the Environment is Organizational Health & Safety Committee #10.
HSC#10: Committee Members for 2022-23
The Organizational Health & Safety Committee meets monthly on every third Monday, or the fourth Monday if the third is a holiday, by Zoom, from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
