Step 1: Report

A University Facilities Mechanic identifies a safety concern or has a safety complaint and determines that it must be reported to the Safety Committee.

     The Mechanic should:

Option 1:    Complete the on-line Safety Concern Reporting Form

Option 2:    Print out the printable version of the Safety Concern Report Form and send it to:

                        Mechanical Maintenance & Planning Safety Committee
      Facilities Operations & Services
      55 Dudley Rd
      Cook Campus
      Or Fax to:
      732-932-9592

               MMPSC Responsibility:

1.     Your form is received (electronically, via fax or mail service) by the Mechanical Maintenance & Planning Safety Committee (MMPSC).

2.     The MMPSC will review and discuss your concern in committee

Step 2: Notification

The Area Manager is notified that a safety concern exists within the zone.

            MMPSC Responsibility:

After Committee review, the MMPSC will forward your safety concern to the appropriate Area Operations Manager using the Safety Concern Notification Form.  An abatement due date will be indicated on the Safety Concern Notification From, providing the Area Operations Manager with an abatement time frame.

     Area Manager’s Responsibility:

1.     Upon receipt of the Safety Concern Notification Form, the Area Operations Manager will investigate the unsafe situation, including if necessary, conduct a site visit for inspection.

2.     The Area Operations Manager will develop an abatement action plan to correct the safety concern within by the indicated due date.

Step 3:    Abatement

The Area Operations Manager prepares an Abatement Action Plan.

       Area Operations Manager’s Responsibility:

A completed abatement action plan will be submitted electronically by the Area Operations Manager to the MMPSC using the on-line Safety Concern Abatement Form within the proscribed time frame.

Should additional time be required to correct the problem, the Area Operations Manager must request an extension.

Step 4:    Resolution

              The safety concern is resolved and conclusions are communicated to all parties

MMPSC Responsibility:

1.     The MMPSC will verify that the safety concern has been addressed

2.     The MMPSC will communicate the action taken by posting the information in affected zone and on the Safety Concern Resolution web site.

3.     If the Mechanic chooses to self identify, then the MMPSC will communicate the abatement action taken directly to the Mechanic using the Safety Concern Resolution Form, sending the information to the Mechanic’s email.
