2. Surveys that go out to community members should:
- Clearly state the purpose of the survey
- Give contact information for the survey initiator
- Be very clear about how information will be used and with whom it will be shared
- Be clear whether survey results are anonymous or not
3. All of the usual rules for posting to large listservs will apply:
- Whoever manages a listserv will make decisions about whether it’s appropriate to invite survey participation
- The survey creator should contact the list manager in advance if they want to send to a large group of people, or to any moderated list, like faculty-l, student-l, community-l

Risk Management Minute
Reporting Injuries...Do you know how to report an injury? If you are injured or become aware of an injury to a student, student worker, faculty, staff, or visitor, contact Campus Safety (x8888) immediately. It is critical that appropriate medical attention is provided and that your supervisor/manager is also notified. Campus Safety has trained emergency medical personnel and onsite first aid equipment and can transport to River’s Edge Hospital & Urgent Care in Saint Peter. It is strongly recommended that any head, neck, eye or back injury be evaluated by a medical provider. In addition, it is important to follow up with the Director of Risk Management in Finance (x7494), 209 Carlson Administration Building, to complete any related workers’ compensation reporting requirements within 24 hours of the incident.
