ES&H Orientation
Risk Management’s long-term goal is to minimize risk exposure to the physical, human, fiscal, and environmental resources of the University
To minimize the impact of losses, the University shall: Routinely identify significant risks to which the
University may be exposed Avoid unnecessary or unreasonable exposures to the
extent practicable Take reasonable and practical proactive steps to
anticipate and/or prevent harmful events and losses Initiate reasonable and appropriate loss control
techniques to minimize the frequency, impact, and severity of losses that are unavoidable
Risk Management is committed to ES&H continuous improvement
Risk Management will be conducting audits throughout TWU campuses to identify areas for improvement
New programs and training requirements will be coming out
Feel free to contact Risk Management with concerns or suggestions!
The less incidents at the bottom of the pyramid, the less likely a more serious incident occurs
So, report all concerns or potential incidents to your supervisor and the Director of ES&H!

ES&H Orientation
Each department is required to designate an Additional Duty Safety Officer
The ADSO acts as the point of contact for Risk Management/Director of ES&H
Risk Management will communicate the policies, procedures, regulations, and standards to the University community through the ADSOs
ADSOs are usually the person tasked with maintaining the departmental emergency plan
ES&H Orientation
Briefly discuss asbestos on at TWU since most employees do not receive specific asbestos training
There are significant quantities of building materials on campus that contain asbestos
Asbestos in building materials that is intact and left in place is not hazardous
So…do not disturb any building materials! i.e. cutting, drilling, sanding, buffing, etc.
Building materials are tested, and any asbestos is removed by a remediation contractor before any renovations proceed
ES&H Orientation
