LionSafe powered by Salute® is a new digital platform Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) is using to manage Incidents, Assessments, Inspections, Equipment, and Chemical Safety Inventories. The Salute platform will serve as a tool to help EHS with their responsibilities for the development and implementation of environmental, occupational health, and safety programs in partnership with the Penn State community. Additional LionSafe modules including Employee Accidents, Permits, Violations, Waste Management and Space Risk Assessments to name a few, will be introduced throughout the coming year.

When something on an assessment is found not to match expected conformance, a finding may be issued. Typically, a finding will require a corrective action to be taken within a specific timeframe to remedy the non-conformance.

A self-audit is a self-led assessment that can be followed to complete pre-use inspections on a piece of equipment, e.g., I only use this aerial lift a few times a month but I have to inspect it before I use it.

An EHS-led assessment is conducted by EHS personnel, typically a regional coordinator. They will follow a pre-defined list of inspection questions to complete this audit.

At this time, an inspection is led by someone within the EHS department of PSU. They will be walking through a pre-defined assessment to review the ready state of a piece of equipment or campus lab, for example.

Always do your best to respond to and provide requested information to the requestor for any finding follow-up. There are metrics to help measure and review time to finding resolution, for example.
