Health & Safety

Healthcare Facilities

No healthcare facilities (trained medical personnel, infirmary, or student health center) are available at ACC campuses, centers, or sites. First aid supplies are available through the ACC Police Department and in various administrative and instructional areas. Students with health problems should consult their family physicians. ACC will assist students without family physicians to identify health programs in the community for which they may qualify. Students must report health emergencies immediately to the ACC Police Dispatch (222 from ACC phone or 223.7999 from non-ACC phones)  and to campus administration. The ACC Police Department will call for outside emergency services if necessary.

Individual Responsibility

As the official ultimately responsible for ACC’s compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations, the ACC president requires that all ACC employees, students, and visitors:

• Report hazardous conditions and safety concerns immediately to their supervisors, instructors, hosts, and/ or emergency management personnel, as appropriate.
• Abide by safe practices and procedures established by the college.
• Cooperate fully with the ACC Environmental Health, Safety, and Insurance Office in addressing environmental, health, and safety issues.
• Adhere to all local, state, and federal regulations concerning environmental, health, and safety issues.
• Cooperate fully with environmental, health, and safety inspectors from local, state, and federal agencies.
• Take action to resolve safe workplace issues when appropriate.
