Risk Management

Here at Lewis & Clark, we are committed to ensuring a safe and secure learning and work environment for all LC community members.

Hazard Communication Program

Lewis & Clark is committed to protecting the safety and health of all community members working in proximity to hazardous materials.  It is their fundamental right to be accurately informed as to the hazards present, the degree of risk of exposure, and the appropriate control measures necessary to avoid these exposures.

1. MSDS - Material Safety Data Sheets

Lewis & Clark College has contracted with Integrated Chemical Management Solutions to provide Material Safety Data Sheets for all chemical compounds used on campus. The link below will take you to a search engine (ChemWatch) to look up and print out any MSDS needed. This is for use by Lewis & Clark Faculty and Staff only. If you have any questions about the use of this website, please contact Bob Tomlin at (503) 768-7872. To use this web site you will need to turn off all pop-up blockers.

Ergonomics

Lewis & Clark encourages its employees to work comfortably and safely when using computers.  It is recognized that assuming prolonged postures that depart from the norms of good, body neutral posture is likely to have deleterious results.  Since these are often not readily apparent to the subject employees themselves, ergonomic assistance and assessment is provided.  Contact the Risk Management Coordinator to schedule an assistance visit.
