The Department of Botany is committed to providing its employees a safe and healthy workplace. To ensure that this objective is met, the department has developed an internal Occupational Health and Safety (OCHS) Program. The program is administered by an internal safety committee of staff, faculty, and students. Please contact the safety committee if you have any concerns or suggestions regarding the department’s safety program; we would be very happy to receive any ideas that will make our department a safer place to work.

For a comprehensive description of the Botany department’s health and safety program, and to learn about individual responsibilities within the department, please see the department safety manual. (updated version coming soon)
