Order Process When Requesting Service
The UW Technology Service Center has implemented a process to
ensure the safety of our employees. This process was developed
with the help of Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S)
in response to employee safety concerns.
Effective May 1, 2002, for any orders that need a UW Technology Service Center employee on site, our Telecommunications
Analysts will ask customers if there are any hazards or health
and safety issues of which UW Technology should be aware before entering the work location. If
such conditions exist, we will ask for the specific hazard and
risks, what training is required for our employees, and if any
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is needed. This information
will be noted on the Telephone Service Order (TSO).
Should customers not know if there are hazards or health and
safety issues, we will require the departmental Health and
Safety Coordinator to contact us with this information before
sending a UW Technology Service Center employee to the work
location. We will not send any UW Technology Service Center
employee to a potentially hazardous work site until all
required training is complete, PPEs are in place, or the hazard
no longer exists.
It is the policy of the University of Washington and the UW Technology Service Center to provide and maintain safe and healthful
working conditions, and to follow operating practices that will
safeguard all employees and the public and result in safe
working conditions and efficient operation. We are committed to
ensuring that our staff is safe.
For information on developing a departmental safety plan please
visit the EH&S
website.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for
distributing this important information to affected employees
of your department.
