Environmental Health & Safety

INTRODUCTION

The Building Emergency Coordinators (BECs) program is designed to provide a "go-to" safety representative in campus buildings who serve as safety champions and liaisons between the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) and their respective areas. Primary responsibilities include assisting individuals with building evacuation, being familiar with key safety resources on campus, supporting EHS's mission to promote a safe workplace, and serving as the point of contact within their department or office for general safety matters. Please note that the list of BECs is subject to change due to campus dynamics, such as but not limited to personnel leaving, transferring to different buildings, or assuming new roles. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety maintains the necessary documentation of current BECs and their points of contact. For further information, please contact our office for support.
