The primary purpose of safety advisory committees at the college or department level is to promote a culture of safety within the college/department/unit. Safety is a broad topic that encompasses research, field work, and day-to-day operations. The work of the safety advisory committee is to minimize workplace injuries and illnesses and ensure regulatory compliance by involving students, employees, and managers in the process of creating and maintaining a safe work environment. Following safe practices in every environment leads to greater efficiency, improved productivity, higher quality research, and an enhanced sense of well-being.
