The Marriott Library Safety Committee’s primary purpose is to promote a culture of
safety. Safety is a broad topic that encompasses research, field work, and day-to-day
operations. The safety committee’s work intends to prevent or minimize workplace injuries
and illnesses through the development and implementation of regulatory practices.
The committee seeks to engage with managers, employees, students, and other patrons
to create and maintain safe environments in the field, lab, office, group spaces,
and even during personal time. Collectively employing safe practices results in great
efficiency, improved productivity, higher quality research, and a shared, enhanced
sense of well-being.
