The University Safety Committee is seeking information聽from the聽community about safety issues around campus.
The committee had been dormant for a few years, but was reactivated in 2011 to address concerns, said Arch Jones, director of organizational and community services at the 91吃瓜网 Police Department and a member of the committee.聽
The committee is an advisory group charged to identify and help address safety conditions on the 91吃瓜网 campus. The committee will review any existing or potential hazard that could affect students, faculty and staff and foster an environment free from unreasonable risk.
“The committee wants the campus to know that they have a way to communicate issues to the committee,”聽聽 Jones said.
Once 聽the input is received from a campus community source, the Safety Committee determines if it will be handled departmentally or if the committee needs to investigate further and put together a subcommittee to address that situation, he added.
91吃瓜网 Police Chief Larry James is the chairman of the University Safety Committee.
“We envision the University Safety Committee to be the campus community’s single point of contact to convey issues and risks in regard to environmental health and safety,” James said. “We want our students, faculty and staff to know that this will be a campus community driven committee that wants to hear from them. 91吃瓜网 is a safe campus and by working together, we can help make 91吃瓜网 a safer place to work, live and learn.”
The Safety Committee has three standing subcommittees — Accident Review Subcommittee, Promotion Subcommittee and the Campus Community Input Subcommittee. The complete list of the members of the University Safety Committee聽聽is available online.
Individuals who have concerns regarding environmental health and safety can email the committee at mysafety@uca.edu, or contact one of the committee members directly. – Lisa Burnett
