Environmental Health & Safety

Introduction

The Building Emergency Coordinators program is intended to provide a "go-to" safety representative in campus buildings that serve as safety champions and safety liaisons to/from the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. Primary responsibilities include assisting individuals with building evacuation, having knowledge of key safety resources on campus, supporting EHS's mission and promoting a safe workplace, and serving as the point of contact in their department/office for general safety matters and the conduit to EHS for more specialized support.

Current BECs

BECs on campus can be commonly identified by a unique sticker located on or near their workstation/office, as well as their high-visibility vest with "BEC" imprinted on the back during emergency situations. It is the responsibility of each BEC to communicate with their department/office to ensure occupants are familiar with their representative.
