Safety Committee
ETSC is committed to providing a safe and healthful environment for students, staff, faculty, and visitors to engage in productive endeavors associated with the Hogue Technology Building (Hogue), ensuring the protection of people, property, and the environment.
In order to fulfill this mission the ETSC department faculty and staff adopted a Safety Policy, which provides environmental, health, and safety requirements for the Department of Engineering Technologies, Safety, and Construction (ETSC) at Central Washington University (CWU). It is intended for all students, staff, faculty, and visitors that perform research and use facilities, equipment, and tools in the CWU ETSC laboratories.

Safe Operating Procedure
SOPs outlines a process to assist with the development of workplace-specific Safe Operating Procedures (SOP) for plant, equipment, hazardous chemicals, work tasks and processes that have the potential to cause harm to persons, plant, material or the environment. Each Hogue lab shall have SOP or JHA documentation, as well as equipment-specific SOPs that are used for training each equipment user.
The course instructor is responsible to brief students on all SOPs, enforce the use of SOPs, clean-up activities, and room/equipment security. Students are responsible to comply with all SOPs and PPE requirements. The competent instructor or designee that unlocks the door to a lab for student use outside of scheduled class time is responsible for verifying lab users are trained and authorized in safety, relevant SOPs, clean-up, and room/equipment security. Refer ETSC safety policy for more information regarding SOPs.
The following list will take you to a page containing lab-specific SOPs (content coming).
