::. IC Safety Committee Information

The promotion of safety and health policies, practices and procedures is the responsibility of each member of the NIH Community. Employees are expected to perform their work safely and not place themselves or others at risk of injury or illness due to unsafe or unhealthy conditions, actions or infractions. This policy establishes guidelines to assist each Institute, Center and Division (IC) in conveying NIH occupational safety and health regulations to ensure compliance with NIH Manual 1340. It represents the NIH commitment to actively promote a comprehensive and effective Occupational Safety and Health Program and provides the foundation for the development and maintenance of a Safety and Health Committee in each IC. Each IC is required to establish an IC Safety and Health Committee.
