1. Safety and risk management are critical areas that require the attention and shared responsibility of all staff members. The administrator with primary responsibility for this is the Associate Director, Recreation Services & Athletics. Questions should be directed to that individual.
2. A Division of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation Services Safety Committee identifies areas of concern and recommends appropriate ways to address them. This committee provides annual reports of its' activities and works closely with the Office of Occupational Health and Safety. The committee is chaired by the Associate Director, Recreation Services & Athletics and includes several Athletics staff members and representatives from other parts of campus.
3. Optional safety equipment for student-athletes is typically provided to student-athletes only after it is duly approved, certified or recommended by the NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports or a comparable appropriate body. Such items would only be provided upon an explicit request by one or more student-athletes and then, only after review and approval by the Director of Athletics or his/her designee and the Director of Risk Management for the University.
