ENVIRONMENTAL AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (EHS) POLICYThe Claremont Colleges (TCC) work to provide a safe and healthy environment foremployees to comply with workplace safety regulations, and to apply best practices inhealth and safety where practical. This policy is extended to all students, visitors, andcommunity surrounding the campus. Each college and TCCS maintains and directsorganization specific safety programs. The Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) ateach college/organization is the key guidance document for all employees to comply withCal/OSHA regulations, California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 3203, and the keyguidance document for the structure of TCC EHS (EHS) Program. The IIPP is the basis forprevention of injuries and exposures, key in reducing worker’s compensation costs andimplementing a “best practices safety culture,” with a goal of no injuries.TCC ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM STRUCTURETCC Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Programs are in place to protect the healthand safety of staff and students from occupational health and safety hazards. Resourcesinclude the TCCS EHS staff, laboratory safety and occupational safety staff specific to eachcampus. Each campus manages their own EHS programs with assistance provided uponrequest by The Claremont Colleges Services’s Environmental Health and Safety.The EHS programs at TCC have both an academic and laboratory safety and anoccupational health and safety/accident prevention area of focus with individualapproaches to EHS being implemented by each of the colleges of TCC.In the academic and laboratory safety area, each of the colleges with laboratoriesincluding Pomona College, Harvey Mudd College, the W.M. Keck Science Center, and KeckGraduate Institute have assigned chemical hygiene officers (attachment A). Each of thecolleges who use radioactive materials also has an assigned radiation safety officer(attachment A).INJURY AND ILLNESS PREVENTION PROGRAMSThe key document describing the employee safety and injury prevention efforts at eachorganization of TCC is the organization specific illness and injury prevention program (IIPP).Each of TCC has an IIPP specific for their college and administers their own safety program.CHEMICAL HYGIENE PLANOne key document in the laboratory safety area is the CHEMICAL HYGIENE PLAN. This isavailable through each college’s chemical hygiene officer. (Note: Following the U.S.chemical safety board recommendations, it is recommended that all chemical hygieneplans include physical hazard recognition and control as part of the plan.)THE CLAREMONT COLLEGES EHS HANDBOOK FOR EMPLOYEES 2021-20226

OTHER ACADEMIC LABORATORY SAFETY EFFORTSYour college may also have also have a biological safety committee and additionalbiological safety guidance documents.COLLEGE SPECIFIC CHEMICAL HYGIENE OFFICERS, SAFETY OFFICERS, SAFETYCOORDINATORS, AND DISASTER SERVICES COORDINATORS.Some colleges have assigned college specific chemical hygiene officers, safetycoordinators and disaster services coordinators (attachment A).The Claremont Colleges Services’s Environmental Health and Safety provide EHSsupport for TCC, conduct academic and laboratory safety audits for the colleges,provide ergonomics evaluations, occupational safety training, and may assist onmore complex projects on a case-by-case basis.Campus safety and security are handled by campus safety, available at(909) 607-2000 (7-2000).RESPONSIBILITY FOR EHS COMPLIANCEEach college or affiliated Institution has responsibility for EHS compliance and employeeand student safety at their institution. The manager with final authority and responsibilityfor implementing the Illness and Injury Prevention Program (IIPP) at each campus is listedin the IIPP for that institution. The IIPP’s vary by organization, so check your organization’sIIPP for details. For IIPP questions you may also contact your human resources director.Department directors and managers are responsible for implementing and maintaining theIIPP in their work areas and for answering employee questions about the IIPP. A copy ofyour organization’s IIPP is available through your human resources director, or on yourcollege’s website. Employees are responsible for complying with the elements of theirorganization’s IIPP under California law. The Claremont Colleges Services’s EHS is availableto answer more complex health and safety questions, consult on serious accidentinvestigations, and assist with regulatory agency inspections.Contact 7-4EHS from a campus phone for any questions.CLAREMONT COLLEGES EHS/SAFETY RESOURCES ON THE WEB ARE AVAILABLE AT:https://services.claremont.edu/ehs/TCC EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT eparedness/THE CLAREMONT COLLEGES EHS HANDBOOK FOR EMPLOYEES 2021-20227

COMMUNICATIONSYour IIPP may require that managers and supervisors are responsible for communicatingwith employees about safety and safety hazard recognition and control in a way that isunderstandable by all employees. TCC requires all employees to immediately inform theirmanagers and supervisors about workplace safety hazards. This right is protected by law.The communication system may include the following: Safety training including a new employee safety orientation.Training on the elements of your organization’s IIPP program.Safety training programs as requested by your supervisor.Regularly scheduled safety meetings.THE CLAREMONT COLLEGES EHS HANDBOOK FOR EMPLOYEES 2021-20229

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENTYour IIPP requires that periodic inspections to identify and evaluate workplace hazards willbe performed by a person able to identify safety hazards in the area they inspect. Theseinspections may be the responsibility of the supervisors at each College. These inspectionsare performed: When new substances, processes, procedures or equipment which present potentialnew hazards are introduced into our workplace.When new, previously unidentified hazards are recognized.When occupational injuries and illnesses occur.Whenever workplace conditions warrant an inspection.Hazard identification is accomplished in the following ways: Each employee shall inspect their tools, equipment, and work area prior to and duringuse for safety.Supervisors shall regularly inspect work areas and operations under their supervisionfor safety hazards on a regular basis. This is in addition to the required quarterlyinspections. Any deficiencies should be noted and corrected, with the correctionsrecorded.Managers shall monitor safety inspections, deficiency corrections and follow-up onuncorrected deficiencies.Each manager shall conduct quarterly inspections of their areas and record the results.After these initial inspections are conducted by each department, for more complexissues, the departmental manager may contact TCCS EHS for assistance as required.Employee communication to your college or organization’s safety committee maytrigger hazard identifications and inspections.Maintenance requests may trigger additional hazard identification and correction whenreferred by each college’s or organization’s facilities services director.Employee-supervisor communications may trigger hazard identification and correction.An employee may complete an “unsafe condition report.”Any safety hazards shall be documented, with corrective actions promptly initiatedand documented. Many safety hazards can be corrected by the supervisor of the area.Other hazards will require work orders and written communications to management.The college or organization safety committee will encourage employees to report andcorrect potential safety issues to committee members, the department manager, and toEHS for investigation. Safety committee members will make efforts to respect anemployees’ request for confidentiality regarding reported safety issues where therequest does not conflict with the correction or control of that issue.A hazard assessment checklist is provided at the end of this handbook that can beadapted to your specific needs for inspections.THE CLAREMONT COLLEGES EHS HANDBOOK FOR EMPLOYEES 2021-202210

CAL/OSHA prohibits an employer from taking adverse actionagainst any employee for reporting workplace safety hazards.Employees are required to report all safety hazards to theirsupervisors for correction.Hazardous chemical use may require a higher level of surveillance.TCC policy is to use the least toxic chemicals possible. Cal/OSHArequires specific training based on potential hazards that may beencountered and additional written programs and training maybe required. Examples are: hazard communication training,laboratory safety training, ergonomics training, confined spacetraining and respiratory protection training.HALTING OPERATIONSCONTACT YOUR HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT FOR DETAILS IF NEEDEDStop-work policy: Employees should stop work on any activity that poses an immediatedanger to a person’s life and health (IDLH). This serious condition should be reportedimmediately to their supervisor and campus safety. This includes work of employee’s,staff, and contractor’s on The Claremont College’s property, including volunteers, visitors,and student activities.At The Claremont Colleges, TCCS EHS staff will report observed serious safety deficiencies to theimmediate supervisor at the College where the work is being performed, and if unresolved, tothe TCCS Vice President of Finance and Administration Treasurer, the College's FacilitiesDepartment or the academic department head. If conditions that pose an “immediatedanger to life and health” are not immediately resolved they will be reported to theCollege’s Chief Financial Officer and TCCS’s Chief Executive Officer. EHS staff at TCCS EHShave the authority to direct a "Stop Work" to activities at The Claremont Colleges Services whenhazards present an immediate threat to health and safety are encountered.STOP-WORK: CONTRACTORSRecommended contractor “Stop Work” Orders will bereported to the contract administrator and thefacilities department of the organization contractingthis work. Immediately dangerous conditions shouldbe reported to campus safety.THE CLAREMONT COLLEGES EHS HANDBOOK FOR EMPLOYEES 2021-202211

ACCIDENT/EXPOSURE INVESTIGATIONEach accident or near miss (an accident that was a “close-call”) should be investigated bythe employee’s supervisor to prevent reoccurrence. The department supervisor is requiredto complete a “supervisor’s report of occupational accident” form (attachment C) inaddition to any paperwork required by the workers’ compensation and disability office.ALL EMPLOYEE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS MUST BE REPORTED by the supervisor to yourcollege’s human resources departments, TCCS EHS and TCCS worker’s compensationIMMEDIATELY.NOTE: CAL/OSHA has an 8-hour notification requirement from the time of the accidentthat must be met to prevent citations and fines (Currently 5,000 per incident) for failureto report the accident to Cal/OSHA.IMPORTANT: In the event of an after-hours SERIOUS accident (see below), contactCampus Safety 7-2000 for emergency notifications to key college staff.A serious accident is defined by Cal/OSHA (CCR, Title 8, Section 330) as:Any injury or illness occurring in a place of employment which requires: Inpatient hospitalization for a period in excess of 24 hours for other than medicalobservation. An employee suffers a loss of any member of the body. Suffers any degree of permanent disfigurement. An accident resulting from violation of section 385 of the penal code. The simplifiedform of section 385 states that any person who personally or through an employee oragent places basically anything within six feet of a high voltage (over 750 volts). Overhead conductor is guilty of a misdemeanor; and it is a misdemeanor to own,operate, or employ any person to operate basically any moveable equipment that couldimpact the overhead high voltage conductor, unless there is posted and maintained inplain view of the operator a durable warning sign legible at 12 feet, reading: “unlawfulto operate this equipment within six feet of high voltage lines.” (See section 385 of thepenal code for exact code wording and definitions).Reporting does not cover: Any injury, illness, or death caused by an accident on a public street or highway, orby the commission of a California penal code violation, except for section 385, notedabove.The manager/supervisor shall complete a “supervisor accident investigation” (attachment)to determine the cause of the accident and recommend corrective actions to preventfuture similar accidents.EH&S may conduct an independent investigation for serious accidents.THE CLAREMONT COLLEGES EHS HANDBOOK FOR EMPLOYEES 2021-202212

HAZARD CORRECTIONHazards should be corrected as rapidly as possible. In the event of a danger or hazardthat could cause serious injury, immediate correction by the person making the discoveryis required, or the operation or machine must be taken out of service. Electrical andmechanical devices must be “locked out.” If a “lockout” is not physically possible, a “redtag” noting the device shall not be used must be affixed to the device. Any hazardouslocations, machinery, or processes shall be “RED TAGGED” as “Out of Service” until thehazard is corrected. Only the supervisor putting on the RED TAG in consultation withan EHS staff member may remove the tag. In the event a serious or dangerous conditionthat is an imminent danger is discovered the employee’s supervisor, TCCS EHS office, andCampus safety must be immediately notified. Once notified, the supervisor is responsiblefor abatement or mitigation of the situation to eliminate the imminent danger.If the hazard cannot be abated or mitigated to correct the imminent threat in animmediate fashion to protect other employees from exposure, additional actions may berequired. These may include; providing written notification to all affected employees,evacuation the affected area, and notifying the appropriate regulatory agencies, includingCal/OSHA. To most effectively assist your college, TCCS EHS should be contactedimmediately if regulatory agency involvement becomes necessary.Hazard correction and control may include: Engineering out the hazard by changingthe operation so the hazard no longerexists. Administrative changes so that personnelare no longer exposed to the hazard. Personal protective equipment to preventdamage from hazards if engineering andadministrative controls are not available. Facility maintenance should be contactedto provide needed corrections using workorders. Contractors may be utilized wherethe expertise needed is unavailablein-house. Documentation of measures taken tocorrect or control hazards are to bemaintained by the supervisor of eachdepartment.THE CLAREMONT COLLEGES EHS HANDBOOK FOR EMPLOYEES 2021-202213

TRAINING AND INSTRUCTIONTraining by TCCS EHS is provided on request by the college. The training TCCS EHSprovides is listed at: ices/When a new employee begins work at TCC or changes job functions with newassignments, Cal/OSHA requires that safety training shall be provided by the supervisorto train the employee on any hazards present, and on the safe operating procedures ofthe new job. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to review any job transfers or changes todetermine whether additional training is necessary.All new employees should receive training on the following: Your organization’s injury and illness prevention plan (Cal/OSHA 3203).The chemical hazard communication program (Cal/OSHA Hazcom).Your emergency plan (disaster/fire safety).Ergonomics and safe lifting (one of our highest loss areas).It is recommended that each collegeprovide their employees with an electroniccopy of the “Environmental Health andSafety Handbook for Employees” which issent to each college’s human resourcesdepartment at the beginning of theacademic year. It is recommended that eachnew employee should acknowledge receiptof this information by signing the pagelocated in the back of the booklet andreturning it to their supervisor.THE CLAREMONT COLLEGES EHS HANDBOOK FOR EMPLOYEES 2021-202214

SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURESCal/OSHA regulations state that all managersand supervisors are responsible for developingsafe operating procedures for operationsunder their control, and training each employeeon these operating procedures. Additionalactivities may require additional training. Thesesituations should be anticipated and evaluatedby each manager and supervisor, and trainingrequested with sufficient advance notice.These activities may include: Hazardous chemical use.Fall protection when working at heights.Respirator use-requires medical clearance, fit test and training.Asbestos disturbance - contact TCCS CFS or use a state licensed asbestos contractor.Lead paint disturbance - removal and sanding requires training and protective equipment.Silica containing materials work such as concrete grinding or cutting.Confined space entry.High voltage work.Training should be provided to employees initiallyand on an ongoing-refresher basis. Each collegearranges for their employee’s training. All trainingmust be documented in writing and retained forat least 3 years.COLLEGE SAFETY COMMITTEE’SYour college may have a safety committee with regular meetings. Information about yourspecific colleges safety committee may be found by contacting your colleges humanresources department.STUDENT SAFETYStudent safety is very important at TCC. Campus safety works to provide a safe campusenvironment, and student safety training is available for laboratory work and other academicactivities through each academic department.
