St. Cloud Technical & Community College is committed to fostering a culture of safety and health throughout our community. A safety culture is a shared mindset based on personal commitment where all believe that performing their jobs safely is essential and is not in competition with personal or organizational priorities. The SCTCC occupational safety and health policies and programs listed below support our safety culture vision. These policies and programs will be reviewed on an annual basis.
SCTCC is participating in the statewide safety perception survey. The survey is being conducted to provide you, and all Minnesota State employees, an opportunity to express your opinions about workplace safety and to provide constructive feedback and information needed to proactively manage staff safety.
The Department of Administration has contracted with PMA Companies, an outside vendor, to develop this web-based survey. When the employee survey is completed, PMA Companies will collect and analyze the data, ensuring employee responses remain anonymous. The Department of Administration will receive a state-wide report identifying the state’s safety perception strengths, weaknesses, and gaps.
This is a state-wide employee survey including all state agencies and not limited to only Minnesota State. The wording of some questions will appear to be generic. Employees were asked to respond to the survey questions considering their safety perception as applicable to their campus.
St. Cloud Technical and Community College (SCTCC) currently maintains MSDS’s/SDS’s for each hazardous chemical using electronic access with a company called MSDSonline®. This MSDS/SDS’s system ensures that they are readily accessible during each work shift to employees and students when they are in their work area(s).
Links are provided below for access to each of the systems.
