Safety Team
Welcome to the OHSU SafetyTeam homepage! This is the place to get information about environmental health and safety issues in your OHSU work area. This site was designed for use by SafetyTeam members, but all OHSU employees may find the information helpful.
What is the SafetyTeam?
The primary purpose of SafetyTeam is to foster health and safety throughout all parts of OHSU. SafetyTeam members are our "eyes and ears" who report safety concerns, serve as the "go to" safety resource for coworkers, and act as problem-solvers where possible. As agents of the OHSU Safety Committee, members of SafetyTeam help meet the requirement for quarterly health and safety workplace inspections.SafetyTeam consists of members from Research, Healthcare, Facilities and throughout all parts of the University. The responsibility of each SafetyTeam member is to contribute to safety in support of the mission of OHSU: improving the health and quality of life for all Oregonians.
