UNIVERSITY SAFETY COMMITTEE  (reference AP&P manual)

The purpose of the University Safety Committee (U.S.C) is to seek to recognize, evaluate, and recommend controls of university environmental factors which might cause impaired health, well-being, efficiency, or comfort. It guides and supports the work of the university's Safety Office toward these goals. It hopes to develop a positive attitude toward safety in the faculty and staff, as in the students, who expect NMSU to provide adequate training for their careers.

The committee is representative of the university, with membership from areas involved in campus safety, those who have expressed an interest in membership, and who are recommended by the committee. Membership is continuous. Appointments are made with input from the committee and interested areas. The chair is appointed by the committee members.
