Safety and Risk Manager
SUBJECT:   Modification of State Facilities
In an effort to maintain a safe work environment, the Campus Safety Committee asks for your cooperation in making sure that repairs, modifications and equipment installations are planned and completed properly.  "Do It Yourself" installations have resulted in falling equipment and building code violations that created hazardous working conditions and were expensive to correct.  Failure to plan ahead for the location of even common equipment can cause the cost of installation to increase and delay use of the item.

Please contact Facilities Management to arrange for properly trained and equipped staff to take care of all building and grounds maintenance, construction and equipment installation tasks.  The cost of having a job done by Facilities Management staff includes the assurance that the work meets public health, worker safety and building codes, and that you will not be responsible for creating a potentially hazardous condition.  Please remember that departments are not permitted to hire contractors or conduct "Do It Yourself" paint jobs, remodels, repairs or any alterations to State facilities without prior approval from management staff at CSUB Facilities Management.  Call ext. 2211 to find out who can best help with your specific need.
