Occupational Safety
Occupational Safety is responsible for reducing or eliminating occupational injuries and illnesses in research, non-research, and clinical settings throughout the university and health system. You can learn more about our programs here.
To help meet this goal, we regularly participate in university and hospital committees such as:
- Injury Review Panel
- Safety & Security Committee
- Environmental Health & Safety Committee
- Environment of Care Committee
- Emergency Management Committee
- Infection Control Committee
We also have area-specific safety programs and regularly scheduled audits of those areas to ensure workplace guidelines are being followed. These include:
- Healthcare safety audits of Temple University Hospital- Main, Jeanes, Episcopal, and Northeastern campuses, and Fox Chase Cancer Center
- Facilities and Service Operations safety audits on Main, Health Sciences Center (HSC), and Ambler campuses
- Art & Theatre safety audits at Tyler School of Art & Architecture and Tomlinson Theatre
- Shop safety audits at College of Engineering and Science Education & Research Center
