• EH&S Training: Develops health, safety, and environmental trainings related to core principles, policies, and hazards. Provides technical consultation to local units on the development of process or equipment related training (e.g., tier III). For safety trainings developed and delivered by external consultants and local units, EH&S conducts quality assurance evaluations to ensure technical accuracy and consistency with institutional programs.
• Communications: Establishes systems to regularly update, report findings, and seek input on matters of EH&S from the campus community.
• Institutional Safety Digital Platforms: (1) Provides IT-technical expert consultation in the selection and the management of institutional digital systems used to support EH&S data (e.g., BioRaft, MIE, e-protocol) in order to ensure appropriate security controls and alignment with existing or planned institutional digital platforms; (2) interfaces and guides departments and schools when they are considering purchasing or developing local EH&S software programs or applications to support their local implementation efforts (e.g., ServiceNow).
• Local Safety Staffing Assessment: Advises and provide guidance to schools/ administrative units on how to effectively carry out their safety tasks, which can include conducting an assessment of staffing and resources needed locally versus services provided by SU Department of EH&S.

USPs play a critical role in support of both supervisors and senior management within their unit. Their presence encourages best practices and helps to ensure health and safety programs are responsive to the needs of the school or unit they represent. In addition to answering basic health and safety questions and coordinating with EH&S on complex issues, this role typically includes the following tasks unless otherwise assigned by senior managers within their unit.

• Implementation: (1) Ensure local emergency plans and continuity business plans are prepared and maintained. (2) Establish systems and work with unit management to ensure faculty and supervisors: (a) complete and maintain records of lab/general workplace self-inspections; (b) have made sure that employees and students have the knowledge to protect themselves from hazards in their working and learning environment and have taken required trainings; (c) complete and maintain records of their local SU personal protective equipment (PPE) assessments; (d) maintain chemical inventories.
• Incident Reporting and Investigation: (1) Ensure incidents are reported to EH&S as outlined in the University’s IIPP and encourage a culture that views reporting of incidents and near misses as a valuable part of organizational learning. (2) Supports supervisors, in conjunction with EH&S, in their investigation of incidents involving their staff or students.
• Communication: (1) Distribute local messaging on new initiatives, hazard updates, announcements, lessons learned, etc. (2) Assist EH&S in seeking stakeholder feedback from faculty, staff, and students on Stanford programs and initiatives.
• Safety Referrals/Local Safety Support: (1) Ensure EH&S is informed of any health and safety evaluations conducted by external consultants or other entities and that EH&S receives a copy of any reports identifying deficiencies or making recommendations regarding health and safety conditions or programs. (2) Work with local personnel to correct any deficiencies stemming from regulatory inspections within required time frame and communicate status of any corrective actions to EH&S
