The MIT Safety Program encourages everyone to report safety
hazards. Depending on the nature and location of the hazard,
this may be reported to your supervisor, Facilities or another
responsible MIT department. If an accident occurs because of
a unsafe condition, please report this so that it can be repaired
before anyone else is injured.
