Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) recognizes the importance of a safe and healthful working environment for all University employees. The responsibility for creating this environment begins with me as FGCU’s president and also resides with every employee in our institution.

All employees are responsible for notifying their supervisor of potential workplace hazards, and for protecting themselves and others by following the safe work procedures identified by their supervisors.  In turn, supervisors are responsible for identifying hazards associated with the tasks they assign, and for initiating actions to manage these hazards. And, vice presidents, deans, and directors are responsible for ensuring that the managers and supervisors in their respective areas have the resources needed to complete their tasks safely.  It is truly a collective effort on the part of us all.

I encourage every employee to do his or her part in creating a safe and healthful working environment for all.
