health rules. Discipline can include verbal or written reprimands and can ultimately result in termination of employment.

The Safety and Health program consists of four parts:

• Injury prevention;
• promoting safety and health committee participation;
• providing safety and health education and training; and
• assisting employees in procuring quality treatment plans allowing them to expeditiously return to work.

90.1 INJURY PREVENTION

The injury prevention program consists of random safety inspections of University areas or departments, an onsite safety committee, education and training and continual reviewing and updating of safety rules and procedures.

90.2 SAFETY AND HEALTH COMMITTEE

1. Organization

A safety and health committee has been established to recommend improvements to our workplace safety and health program and identify measures needed to eliminate or control recognized hazards. The number of management representatives on the committee must never exceed the number of rank-and-file employee representatives.

1. Responsibilities

The safety and health committee is responsible for assisting management in communicating procedures for evaluating the effectiveness of measures used to protect employees from workplace safety and health hazards.

The safety and health committee is responsible for assisting management in reviewing and updating workplace safety and health rules based on accident investigation findings, inspection findings, and employee reports of unsafe conditions or work practices. The committee also is responsible for:

• accepting and addressing anonymous complaints and suggestions from employees;
• evaluating employee injury and accident records to identify trends and patterns so that corrective measures can be developed to prevent the recurrence of accidents and unsafe conditions;
