Featured Safety Sheets

Safety & Risk Services has developed a series of safety sheets to provide UO employees with information on specific hazards, environmental health issues, and best practices. Find an A-Z list of downloadable safety sheets in English or Spanish

Visit Safety Sheet Library

Eye and Face Protection
Eye and face injuries can be lifechanging. Injuries can result from flying particles, falling or shifting debris, chemical splash, release of liquids or gases under pressure, and harmful UV or infrared radiation. 
Safety Shoes
Safety shoes can protect the wearer from many hazards.  Steel toes (or composite toes) protect from impact and compression from tools or objects that fall as well as protecting against heavy objects such as barrels that could roll over toes.
Important Phone Numbers
This covers which number to call for various issues across campus from UOPD to Classroom Technology Support. 
Cleaning Wipes
Cleaning wipes are commonly used cleaning products to disinfect surfaces. At the UO, we use wipes to disinfect 'high touch' areas or shared equipment such as door handles, keyboards, phones, and other solid surfaces.

Safety Maps

Visit the campus map to navigate campus and view additional safety maps. 

This map highlights accessible routes, parking, and elevator locations across campus.

The Fire Safety map displays fire safety assets and building evacuation maps across campus.

This public app highlights where golf carts and utility vehicles are allowed and not approved to drive on campus. Routes with heavy bicycle or pedestrian traffic are also indicated.

The Safety at Night Map identifies safety corridors across campus and emergency call box locations. You can help make campus safer by using this map to share night safety hazards.
