Main Content

TCU is committed to protecting the safety and health of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is part of the U.S. Department of Labor, is the government agency that sets and enforces protective workplace safety and health standards. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, employers have the responsibility to provide a safe workplace.

This page provides information and safety resources that can help individuals and departments reduce or eliminate hazards and risks, comply with federal and state occupational safety and health regulations, and make your work environment safer.
