The updated UW Accident Prevention Plan contains new and updated health and safety information and resources for University units to share with personnel. Department/unit administrators and supervisors should review the UW Accident Prevention Plan and the Supplemental Accident Prevention Plan with their existing and new employees.
The UW Accident Prevention Plan outlines the policies and procedures we should follow to reduce or eliminate anticipated workplace hazards that generally apply to all University personnel (with the exception of personnel in UW medical and healthcare facilities).
University units are also required to document additional health and safety topics, including worksite-specific hazards beyond those covered in the UW Accident Prevention Plan. Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) provides a Supplemental Accident Prevention Plan Template for units to address worksite- and unit-specific hazards.
Please visit the Accident Prevention Plan webpage for more information about the updated UW Accident Prevention Plan and to download the Supplemental Accident Prevention Plan Template. Refer to the UW Accident Prevention Plan log of changes for a list of updates to the plan.
