LLCC Environmental Health and Safety Team NEEDS YOUR HELP!
The purpose of the Environmental Health and Safety Team is to promote safety practices at LLCC. To help guide our efforts in this area we have developed a short Safety Perception Survey that we are asking all LLCC employees to complete. Your answers will provide valuable information regarding our employees’ basic perceptions of safety on campus, as well as specific information on strengths, and/or areas that may need renewed focus.
The survey will be open through MAY 13.
Click here to access the survey.
We appreciate your time and commitment to safety at LLCC!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact any of the team members:
