7 Harper College Environmental Health & Safety Procedure Manual 5 SECTION 1 IMPLEMENTING THE PROGRAM Purpose of the Manual Introduction Principles and Goals Assignment of Responsibility Facilities Committee Reviewed: October 2008 October 2007, September 2004 Date Accepted: April 2002 Harper College Environmental Health & Safety Procedure Manual 6 PURPOSE OF THE Manual This Environmental Health and Safety Procedure Manual (EH&S Manual ) outlines procedures, rules and regulations governing Health , Safety and Environmental protection in which to follow while working at Harper College.
8 The EH&S Manual is maintained by the Manager of Environmental Health & Safety (Sara Gibson x6923 or who is in the Physical Plant Department. Questions or concerns regarding the EH&S Manual should be directed to her. The EH&S Manual will be revised as necessary to add requirements and procedures involving newly identified exposures. Periodically, material in this Manual will be updated, revised or supplemented in order to keep the Manual current and relevant. For emergency procedures see the Harper College Emergency Procedure Manual (orange flipchart). It is impossible to effectively deal with all Safety concerns or procedures in a single Manual .)
9 Many Safety related matters involve situation-specific factors, which are difficult to anticipate. Accordingly, this Manual is not the definitive statement, or the only statement, on college Safety concerns or procedures. This Manual is a starting point and a good-faith attempt to create a viable, college-wide, Safety program and philosophy.
