Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine Safety
All faculty members, staff, students, and visitors at UC Davis Health and UC Davis have an obligation to perform their work in a manner that does not endanger their health and safety, the well-being of others, or the university environment. Members of the campus community can participate in making the campus a safe place to work, study, and live by identifying health and/or safety hazards or unsafe conditions by informing those responsible for the problem area.
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine (BMM) students, staff and faculty should participate in making the department a healthy and safe working environment.
Alternatively, you could file a hazard report with UC Davis Environmental Health and Safety Department. Employees or students that bring unsafe conditions to the attention of the BMM department or file a report of unsafe conditions or practices are protected by law. It is illegal for the employer to take any action against an employee in reprisal for exercising rights to participate in communications involving safety.
