The Department of Safety and Risk Management is charged with the responsibility of planning, organizing, directing and evaluating all programs and personnel involved in Fire Safety, Occupational Safety, Student Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Environmental Health, Hazardous Materials, Chemical Waste, Insurance, and Radiation Safety on all campuses of the Institution.

Although the Department reports directly to the Assistant Vice President for Business Services many of the areas that are handled are done so directly with the various Vice Presidents, the Provost, and the President.  The Director deals directly with the Dean of Continuing Education at the Providence Campus and the Vice-Provost at the Bay Campus.


The Director supervises the Superintendent of Alarms, the Coordinator of Industrial Hygiene and Fire Safety, and the Coordinator of Hazardous Materials and Chemical Waste.  The Director also monitors the Radiation Safety program, which is funded by the Research Office.  All University Insurance matters, except Health Insurance for employees and students,  and Workers Compensation, are handled by the Director of Safety and Risk Management.  The Director also handles  all  Policies and  Claims  for the  Office  of  Higher Education.  The Director is assisted in these various roles and responsiblilities  by the  Coordinator for Safety and Risk  Management.
