Safety Policies

Security

The Physical Plant department is responsible for campus safety and security by maintaining University buildings and grounds, performing routine surveillance, investigating reported and/or suspicious activities, escort services, maintaining the campus access system, etc.

All individuals must adhere to any and all security measures and/or guidelines of the University.  This includes following any security guidelines that are established.

Desks, lockers and other storage devices may be provided for the convenience of employees, but remain the sole property of the University.  Accordingly, any agent or representative of NWHSU may inspect them or any articles found within them at any time, with or without prior notice. 

In addition, the University will not tolerate theft or unauthorized possession of the property of employees, the University, visitors and students and therefore, may also inspect persons entering and/or leaving the facility, packages or other belongings.  Employees who wish to avoid any such inspection should not bring such items onto NWHSU’s premises.

Employees may need key cards to enter a facility.  It is extremely important that these key cards be kept only in the employee’s possession – not anyone else’s.

If an employee works after hours, he/she should take any safety/security precautions available. Employees should see their supervisor or Human Resources for more information.
