工作安全

The college is committed to protecting the health and safety of all employees. 具体地说, under the Occupational Safety and 健康 Act (OSHA), it is the responsibility of the college to ensure that the workplace is free of unnecessary hazards and is environmentally safe for employees and students, and that employees follow safety procedures and wear protective equipment as required.

安全措施

As part of the OSHA Hazard Communication Program, the college provides information about hazardous chemicals and training and safety practices to staff working in laboratories and other designated work sites. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) which describe the specific hazards of any chemicals used in the workplace are available for review upon request. Technical advice about safety issues is available from the 健康 and Safety Coordinator.

Department heads and supervisors are accountable for the safety of those working under their supervision and are expected to conduct their operations in a safe manner at all times. You are expected to follow all safety procedures, to take an active part in protecting yourself and your co-workers, and to promptly report to your supervisor hazardous conditions and practices.

Employees in designated positions are required to wear appropriate protective equipment during work hours. Violations of safety rules and procedures may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

意外报告

If you are injured at work, you must immediately report the injury to your supervisor or department head. Accidents, no matter how minor, must be reported promptly and a First Report of Job-Related Accident form submitted to protect your rights to benefits or coverage under the college's Workers' 补偿 Insurance. Accident report forms are available from your supervisor, 你的部门办公室, or the Office of 人力资源. Your section of the accident report should be completed as soon as possible. The report should be detailed and should note the date and time of the accident, 事件的顺序, and factors that may have contributed to the accident.

First Report of Job-Related Accident

Supervisors are responsible for completing the remainder of the form and returning it to the Office of 人力资源 as soon as possible. Prompt reporting of all accidents is essential; the Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents fines employers for each accident that is not reported to that agency promptly.

Treatment for Job-Related Accidents

Supervisors are responsible for arranging appropriate medical treatment for employees injured on the job. The seriousness of the injury determines the department to be contacted.

• Call campus safety if a severe injury requires immediate first aid and/or an ambulance.
• Call the Office of 人力资源 to report injuries that may require medical tests and treatment. Injured employees will be referred to a local physician retained by the college, who specializes in occupational medicine.
• Call 健康 服务 to arrange immediate first aid treatment for minor injuries which occur during the academic year when 健康 服务 is open.

All payments to hospitals and private physicians are subject to acceptance by the college's Workers' 补偿 Insurance carrier. For information on reimbursement for treatment, see Workers' 补偿 好处.
