Cornell University strives to
maintain a safe living, learning, and working environment. Faculty,
staff, students, and other members of the Cornell community must conduct
university operations in compliance with applicable federal, state, and
local regulations, University Health and Safety Board requirements, and
other university health and safety standards.
This policy is intended to help prevent accidents and injuries, increase
safety awareness, meet requirements of environmental and occupational
health and safety laws and regulations, reduce institutional liability,
and establish safety responsibilities for members of the university
community and visitors to university-owned property, including
state-owned property associated with Cornell University. This policy
affects both endowed and statutory divisions of the University, and
should be read by all members of the Cornell Community.
