Safety Committee

A sub-committee of the ISAT Laboratory Committee will address laboratory safety issues. This sub-committee-composed of the ISAT Chemical Hygiene and Safety Officer, the CISAT Laboratory Manager, and one or more members of the ISAT faculty-will be established for the purpose of

• approving all ISAT safety documents, making recommendations for changes to be made when deemed necessary for OSHA compliance;
  
  
• approving the overall ISAT safety program, as established by the Chemical Hygiene and Safety Officer;
  
  
• discussing departmental safety and waste disposal issues; and
  
  
• analyzing any incidents that occurred since the last meeting, such as accidents that may or may not have resulted from violations of the safety regulations, or issues of neglect or enforcement on the part of faculty, staff, or students.

In addition, the overall chemical hygiene and safety program, as represented in this document, will be reviewed by the University Safety Director. Though the Director will not be a standing member of the Safety Committee, he/she may be asked to join the committee for selected meetings.

This sub-committee will meet formally at least once during the JMU academic year.
