Line-of-Fire Safety

Hazardous energy is all around us and takes many forms in our daily lives.  If you move into the path of hazardous energy, you could be injured.  These types of injuries are known as Line-of-Fire injuries.  Line-of-fire injuries are one of the most common ways to be injured from using a tool to injure a hand, dropping something on a foot or being caught on entangled on equipment.

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

Space Heaters
The University strives to maintain comfortable temperatures conditions in all campus owned and leased buildings. Individuals have different preferences in optimal working temperatures and may feel the need to adjust the temperature range in their work areas. 
Portable Jump Boxes
Also known as portable jump starters, are compact battery packs used to jump start vehicle batteries without needing another vehicle. There are risks while using jump boxes and hazards associated with vehicle batteries. Most university departments driving UO vehicles should not have jump boxes or attempt to jumpstart UO vehicles
Suspicious Object
This sheet includes tips to identify a suspicious package or object and the steps taken when encountering an object or package of suspicious or unknown origin. 
Cold and Flu
Cold and flu season occurs annually during the colder half of the year within each hemisphere. Cold and flu viruses are contagious and can remain infectious for up to 24 hours on surfaces. There is no cure for either illness. Flu vaccines are recommended for most individuals yearly.
