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

Heat Illness - Prevention
Know the signs, symptoms, and treatments of heat illnesses to reduce the likelihood of heat-related medical events.
Heat Illness - Regulations
Regulations use heat index, not ambient temperature, for action limits. The heat index combines the temperature with the humidity and is an accurate way to represent the working conditions on the human body
Lead Exposure Program
The University manages a Lead Exposure Control Program to monitor lead levels around the greater campus and mitigate when actionable levels are found. 
Ladder Safety
Ladders are one of the most widely used tools. Choosing the right kind of ladder for your specific task is crucial for safety.
