Safety Committee
The safety committee structure for UNMC consists of two committees: Employee Safety Committee and Safety Leadership Team.
UNMC's Safety Leadership Team and Employee Safety Committee provide recommendations on reducing safety and health hazards at the workplace. The safety committees are composed of faculty and staff representatives from various units on campus. If you have a safety concern to report at any time, don't hesitate to contact the EHS at 402-559-6356 or email a member of the Employee Safety Committee or Safety Leadership Team.
