SRS Safety Resources and Training

Safety Sheets

SRS has developed a series of safety sheets. Safety sheets are designed to improve the awareness of employees at the University of Oregon by providing information on specific hazards, environmental health issues, and best practices. Each page gives a brief overview of important information, contacts, and best practices related to the topic. The sheets can be utilized for new employee safety orientation packets, as additional written material for training, or as a quick reference for basic questions. Refer to the bottom of each sheet for the contact information of the SRS professional who can answer additional questions.
