Policies

The University empowers and expects all employees to integrate health and safety considerations into their workplace decisions and activities. Managers and supervisors have particular responsibility for identifying and planning the controls for workplace hazards in the activities of their employees. The campus Injury and Illness Prevention Policy (IIPP) establishes the health and safety practices to be followed to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses.

To maintain a safe, accessible campus, the use of golf carts and other small motorized vehicles is subject to the conditions set forth in this policy.

The University of California, Berkeley (“Berkeley”) is strongly committed to supporting the health and well-being of all members of the campus community by ensuring that healthy food and beverage choices are available in the foodservice operations identified in this policy. This policy establishes nutrition standards for retail foodservice and markets, vending machines, Athletic concessions, dining commons, and University-sponsored meetings and events to ensure accessibility of whole and fresh foods, provide healthier alternatives to sugar-sweetened beverages, and engage positive communications promoting healthier choices.

It is the policy of the University of California, Berkeley Campus, to control feral animals when they are creating health hazards to members of the Campus community, disrupting teaching or research, damaging Campus property, or creating a nuisance. Feral animals include cats, raccoons, skunks, and dogs. Pest Management will trap the problem animals and either deliver them to the City of Berkeley's Animal Care Services Center or release them in an approved wild area. If the animal is dead, contact the City of Berkeley's Animal Care Services Center at 981-6600 (not the number listed in the original policy).
