Educational institutions, such as Monmouth University, that receive funds under programs administered by the U.S. Secretary of Education are bound by FERPA regulations. Education records can exist in any medium and often include such personal identifiers as social security number, date of birth and gender as well as academic information.

Monmouth University, as an educational institution and learning community, is based upon certain core values, including responsible citizenship, integrity, honor, accountability, mutual respect, leadership and service. These and other core values are fundamental to the University community and the ethical standards of the University and its members. These values, as well as those set forth in the Monmouth University Human Relations Philosophy and Policy Statement, form the basis of this Code of Ethics. It is the responsibility of each individual to protect and support the University, its community members and its mission as a learning community. Student Employees are paid for time spent on training and must be notated on the student’s timecard.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Protecting employees from occupational exposure to disease-causing viruses and bacteria has become an extremely significant issue in the workplace. Work situations, which present the possibility of contact with blood or some other bodily fluid or biological agents, could pose a risk to infectious diseases. For example, the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are pathogens that are transmitted through blood and other bodily fluids. Employees who have the potential to come in contact with blood or other potential infectious materials face the possibility of contracting these viruses and developing severe health problems.

This compliance training needs to be completed annually. All time spent on this training is paid and must be notated on student timesheet. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Director of Compliance/Risk Manager at 732-263-5355.

Hazard Communication

It is the desire and intent of Monmouth University that employees be informed about the hazardous substances they may encounter in the workplace, and learn the appropriate protective measures to work safely with those substances. The Hazard Communication Program fully informs students of the dangers involved with handling hazardous chemicals, so that they can safely perform their job.

Chemical exposure may cause or contribute to many serious health effects such as heart ailments, kidney and lung damage, sterility, cancer, burns and rashes. Some chemicals may also be safety hazards and have the potential to cause fires and explosions and other serious accidents. This compliance training provides the necessary information to employees, so they can participate in, and support, the protective measures in place at their workplace.  All time spent on this training is paid and must be notated on student timesheet. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Director of Compliance/Risk Manager at 732-263-5355.

Fall Protection

On occasion, Monmouth University employees may be required to perform work in areas that cannot be accessed from the ground or from solid construction. The purpose of this compliance training program is to ensure that each employee is trained and made aware of the safety provisions which are to be implemented when working on elevated surfaces such as ladders, scaffolding and/or lifts. The training will instruct employees how to recognize fall hazards and how to prevent them. Student workers who are assigned this training include all students who participate in work environments where they may encounter ladders, scaffolding or mobile elevated work platforms. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Director of Compliance/Risk Manager at 732-263-5355.
