In 2004, the University of Iowa Facilities Management launched a strategic and comprehensive safety initiative, Systems of Safety, to build awareness and identify compliance issues, note program deficiencies, and put new processes in place for safety. Facilities Management then actively sought a way to make safety a number one priority, to reduce risk of injury and lost time, to increase personal responsibility and to create a safe work environment. To accomplish this a team of management and labor developed “Route 66.”
