Safety

The purpose of the International House Safety Committee is to review safety training needs and current training programs for adequacy and compliance, review the cause of accidents, and recommend ways and means for the prevention of accidents. We evaluate safety and health recommendations from all sources, including safety inspections, employee/resident suggestions, and complaints. In addition, we initiate programs to stimulate and maintain interest in safety in the House.
