The President shall establish administrative procedures to ensure the safety of employees and students on Lane Community College’s sites, including the following:

  • Compliance with the United States Department of Transportation regulations implementing the Federal Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991.
    • Specifically, Lane Community College shall comply with the regulations of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and, if applicable, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
    • Compliance with these policies and procedures may be a condition of employment.
  • Establishment of an Injury and Illness Prevention Program in compliance with applicable OSHA regulations and state law.  These procedures shall promote an active and aggressive program to reduce or control safety and health risks.
  • Establishment of a Hazardous Material Communications Program, which shall include review of all chemicals or materials received by Lane Community College for hazardous properties, instruction for employees and students on the safe handling of such materials, and proper disposal methods for hazardous materials.

Board Policies are adopted by the Lane Community College Board of Education and establish the College’s governing principles and institutional direction. These policies are reviewed by the Board at least every five years or more often as needed. Board Policies are distinct from College Operating Policies and Procedures (COPPS), which provide operational guidance and are developed through governance processes and by responsible managers.
