Background

About Jack Bracken

Jack Bracken is the Education & Outreach Manager at UCLA EH & S, where he takes a proactive approach to education and community building across the entire campus community. He does this by creating positive incentives for engaging with safety education, integrating it into everyday activities, and sharing lessons learned with peers. His wealth of experience has taught him that safety culture thrives most when it’s actively discussed in the workplace, and not just during training or when the safety professionals visit. As a leader focused on the success of his department’s educational mission, Jack guides the development of online and in-person training courses for the campus community, delivers safety orientations to new UCLA faculty, hosts workshops and discussion forums on pertinent health & safety topics, and coordinates outreach events and marketing campaigns. Thousands of UCLA staff, students, and faculty have worked with Jack and his team during advanced safety trainings and safety program development while he’s been at EH & S. Jack worked 7 years in the pharmaceutical industry before doing his graduate studies as an organic synthetic chemist at UCLA. He has been in service with EH & S since 2016.
