Updates from University Health and Safety Committee
Rachel
New chair
Safety walks are being scheduled
A safety walk is where committee members pick a place on campus to walk through and check for safety concerns.
Rachel will let us know when they are happening if we want to participate.
Likely to happen end of June/ early July
Safety Trainings being offered by EHS (add link here)
Next month the committee may be talking about issues around opening the university to the public.
Rachel and AMD met with Shannon, new OSU Chief of Police. Shannon came on at end of Dec. Convorsation went well. Communication is an ongoing concern. They are asking officers to stop at the desk to let us know why they are here. Makes it easier for Service desk to answer patron concerns.
Rachel offered to give tours to new officers.
Lots of new officers
Many don't know where to go when they get a call. (SCARC alarm is one example)
Discussed outside security groups like Whelan. Don’t know what kind of training those 3rd party contractors have.
