Programs and policies are developed to document training, equipment, and work practices required for controlling risks. Many of these programs relate to specific federal or state regulations and thus serve as compliance and safety management tools. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety develops these programs through the various faculty and staff committees that oversee risk management at the College (i.e. Facilities Operations and Institutional Biosafety Committee, Chemical Safety Advisory Committee). Faculty, staff, and students must follow these programs when applicable.
