Featured Safety Sheets

Hearing Conservation
Proper use of hearing protection devices (HPDs), earplugs and/or earmuffs, can prevent noise-induced hearing loss. The UO Hearing Conservation Program (HCP) defines the Action Level (AL) as exposure to noise at or above 85 dBA decibels (dBA) over an 8-hour time-weighted average.
Threatening Behavior
What to do before, during, and after dealing with or witnessing threatening behavior. This includes tips for how to support co-workers and where to report incidents. 
Injury Reporting
Injury reporting is required by the University regardless of severity. By reporting the incident, EHS has an opportunity to follow up on and determine if any changes can be put in place to remove the hazard or lower the possibility of future incidents.
First Aid Kits
First aid kits are located all over the University with supplies to provide aid for minor injuries. Departments are responsible for providing and maintaining their own first aid kits. Kits should be stored in easily accessible places or secured to walls.
