"Safety Services utilizes a network of Department Safety Coordinators to foster communication and cooperation between individual departments and our Environmental, Health & Safety division. This cooperation is in the spirit of gaining increased compliance with our ever changing regulatory environment as well as finding ways to increase our culture and awareness of safety best practices. Victor has consistently and repeatedly presented and championed new ideas in the spirit of finding ways to make our UC Davis community a safer environment. He specifically has developed a newsletter that has increased and improved communication on many fronts. Victor deserves to be recognized for his tenacity and zeal for pushing the safety message beyond the boundaries of his home department. Victor cares about safety within the University.
