Laboratory Hazard Assessment Tool

The  Laboratory Hazard Assessment Tool (Assess) implemented as part of the CSU commitment to supporting a culture of safety.  Assess is a web-based system intended to identify and communicate hazards present in a laboratory or research area.  Once the hazards are identified, staff can take appropriate training and select the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Assess will be used by all academic appointees, staff, students, and visitors to prevent workplace illnesses and injuries.

Welcome to another series of working from home. You may already be a seasoned homeworker, or this may be your first time. Either way, here are some simple but effective things you can do to keep yourself comfortable, healthy and productive.

Fire is a risk wherever we work and live. If a fire were to break out, do you have a plan to escape?

Tips for avoiding fire in your home:

Whether working at home, the local coffee shop or at another office on campus, it is imperative to set-up your workstation to allow for neutral postures. The cumulative effect of working on laptops, cell phones, and tablets may increase the risk of chronic neck/shoulder injuries and repetitive stress injuries of the hands and wrists.

Winter Holidays Décor Safety Regulations

If you plan to decorate campus spaces for Winter Holidays, please comply with the following safety regulations

Extreme heat or heat waves occur when the temperature reaches extremely high levels or when the combination of heat and humidity causes the air to become oppressive.

Hazardous heat exposure can occur indoors or outdoors, and can occur during any season if the conditions are right, not only during heat waves.

Safety & Risk Management facilitates periodic employee training as particular environmental health or safety regulations require. Most health and safety regulations are enacted by federal, state and/or local regulatory agencies, particularly the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (CALOSHA). Some training is required annually, while other training is mandated within the first year of hire.
