Fighting Complacency 

All jobs have an element of risk.  As employees become more familiar and more skilled in their jobs, there is the potential for them to become more complacent about the risks associated with these jobs.  Complacency can also lead to having your mind wander from the task at a hand.

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

Shelving Safety
Shelves are an essential part of storage and organization. On average, seven shelf-related injuries occur every year on campus. Many of these injuries are caused by unsecured units, falling items, moving heavy or awkward objects, and climbing or reaching to access higher objects. 
Hand Injury Prevention
Hand injuries can be debilitating and life-altering. While some jobs require nothing to get started, other jobs require prior training, PPE (personal protective equipment), machine guarding, or specified tools to lower hand injury risk.
Responding to Treats
This helpful flowchart shows the basic steps for the campus community to follow in various threatening situations. 
Building Safety Culture
Building safety culture is the collectively accepted value of safety in a workplace. The University wide safety culture is established by policies and procedures, while the department or unit specific culture is determined by how employees at all levels integrate these requirements and best practices into their daily work. 

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.
