Why Are We Here?
To learn about the university’s injury and
illness prevention program (IIPP).
Receive general safety guidelines.
Explain what your responsibilities are for
safety.

Why?
Stanford works hard to prevent accidents, but
people do get injured at work:
Workplace injuries cost Stanford
~ $5.8 million each year
 Total lost work days due to injuries
~1600 each year


Supervisor’s Responsibilities

Training
There are 3 levels of training:
Tier I University
Tier II Department

Employees must receive training on all workplace
hazards
Training benefits employees by: improving
understanding, empowering people, reducing
injuries and improving the bottom line.

Reporting Hazards
University Policy on Anti-reprisal
“Stanford university encourages employees and
students to report health and safety hazards to their
supervisor, manager, or EH&S.”
“Employees and students shall not be discharged or
discriminated against in any manner for bona fide
reporting of health and safety hazards to Stanford
or to appropriate governmental agencies.”
(Reports may always be made anonymously)

Reporting an Injury, Incident,
or Exposure
Discuss health and safety concerns with your
advisor/supervisor.

Workman’s Compensation Insurance

Sequoia occupational Health, Redwood City


Minor injury (sprained ankle, a few stitches)

Stanford Hospital Emergency Room


Serious Injury (severe laceration requiring
surgery, chemical burns, head trauma,
compound fractures)

Identification of Hazards by
Inspecting the Workplace
EH&S has checklists (see booklet).
Departments “self inspect.”
Management ensures implementation

recorded.
When you inspect for or correct hazards;
document that as well.
Keep Records for 1 year.
