The University of Nebraska Medical Center values an atmosphere that fosters a worklife balance between work and family responsibilities. UNMC believes in an environment that is conducive to work, and in which health and safety concerns of employees, students, staff and children are respected and disruptions are minimized. UNMC facilities and grounds can present a variety of potential hazards to individuals, and these are greater for children who often lack the hazard recognition abilities of an adult. This policy is intended to address the concerns of all parties when a child is in the workplace, minimize the risk of injury, and promote a safe work environment. | The University of Nebraska Medical Center values an atmosphere that fosters a worklife balance between work and family responsibilities.

It is important to note that due to some work environments and the duties of the parent, children cannot be permitted in the work area at any time. There are many areas of the medical center where hazardous materials or equipment are located, or where hazardous operations are conducted. These include patient care areas, some laboratories, shops, animal areas, power plants, etc. The risk of accident or injury in these areas is increased for those who are unfamiliar with safety requirements. Therefore, children under 16 are not allowed in these areas. | It is important to note that due to some work environments and the duties of the parent, children cannot be permitted in the work area at any time.
