Our vision at NMSU is to meet the changing needs of New
Mexicans through high-quality, affordable education and through
the creation and sharing of knowledge in the true spirit of a
land-grant university.
To enable our goals, we must manage environmental health and
safety like other key activities - by integrating them into every
process as a good management technique. In addition, every
manager, employee, contractor, and faculty member must be
committed to working in a safe and environmentally conscious
manner. For example, we expect all employees to take personal
responsibility for their own safety, to be conscientious about the
safety of others, and to help identify potential hazards so they
can be corrected. Moreover, we must continuously evaluate our
processes and look for ways to minimize our effects on the
environment by reducing and recycling waste whenever possible.
This Employee Safety Handbook provides information on our
safety, health, and environmental policies and procedures. I
recommend that you read this handbook, as well as other NMSU
safety references and consider safety important to achieve our
goals and vision.
