Pitzer Safety Programs

Pitzer Safety Committee
A Safety and Health Committee was organized several years ago to adopt, implement and maintain the Pitzer College Illness and Injury Prevention Program. The Safety and Health Committee is a standing college committee, which serves to communicate the health and safety policies of the College. The Director of Campus Facilities serves as the Chair of this committee. The committee members represent staff, faculty and students.
