Safety Plans

Asbestos Operations & Maintenance Plan - LBCC guidelines for preventing exposure to asbestos-containing materials (ACM), training requirements for job types that may come in contact with ACM, maintenance guidelines, and locations of ACM and PACM on main campus.
Back Safety Program - Guidelines, practices, and procedures to implement and sustain a Back Injury Reduction Program
Emergency Action Plans - general guidelines for the safety of personnel & property:

Employee Bloodborne Pathogens Plan - The plan addresses employees who may have occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens such as the hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It addresses engineering and work practice controls and a post-exposure evaluation processes for employees who have risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

Employee Bloodborne Pathogens Checklist
Student Bloodborne Pathogens Plan - The plan addresses students in academic programs who may "reasonably anticipate" exposure to bloodborne pathogens such as the hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) while on campus and performing their academic duties. It addresses engineering and work practice controls and post-exposure evaluation processes for students who have such exposure risks. Students doing clinical practicum or cooperative work experience at an off-campus site are covered under the Employee Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Plan.

Chemical Hygiene Plan - In accordance with OSHA Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1450 and OR-OSHA Division 2/Z), the following program establishes policies, procedures, equipment, personal protective equipment and work practices to protect employees from the health hazards presented by hazardous chemicals used in the LBCC Physical Sciences laboratories.

Confined Space Program - Designed to protect employees, student workers, and/or contractors from the dangers associated with work in or around confined spaces. The protocols in this program are required to minimize the risk associated with confined space entry.
Fire Prevention Program - Fire prevention measures reduce the incidence of fires by eliminating opportunities for ignition of flammable materials.
Hot Work Program - Managing hot work and minimizing the risk of property loss caused by hot work involves education of management, employees, and contractors about the causes of hot work fires and explosions and factors that make them more severe.
Lockout/Tagout Program - This program covers “Lockout/Tagout,” which is required by OSHA in its standard on Control of Hazardous Energy.
Noise Exposure & Hearing Conservation Program - OSHA requires employers to administer an effective Hearing Conservation Program whenever employee noise exposure equals or exceeds an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) sound level of 85 decibels.
Respiratory Protection Program - In accordance with OSHA 1910.132 and 1910.134, the LB Respiratory Protection Program establishes policies & procedures for the effective use of respirators to protect employees, students, & volunteers from harmful airborne contaminant exposures.
Student Travel Abroad - The travel checklist identifies steps and precautions to take in preparing for student study trips abroad. Note: there is a tab for faculty and a tab for students.
