May is Safety Month

  • by Tahlia Aghily
  • April 18, 2018

Safety month is upon us, with activities and presentations offered each week to promote health and safety, on and off campus, all year long.

With this year's Safety Month featuring events on yoga, injury prevention, photography, wildfire preparedness, meditation, and bike safety- there’s truly something for everyone. So bring a friend or treat yourself to these activities and more. Check out the Safety Month website to learn more about how you can Think Safe, Act Safe, and Be Safe this May.

Week 2

Travel and Transport Safety

May 9- 13
This week is all about travel safety- being prepared, doing your homework and knowing the rules- so you can enjoy your time abroad or time on the road with peace of mind.

Injury Reporting

Fast, accurate reporting benefits everyone involved. Generally speaking, the campus is improving in our reporting speed, but we can do even more to promote timely reporting and the prevention of injuries.
