There are several WUSTL safety initiatives with the goal to create a work environment that is safe for faculty, staff, students, and visitors. Initiatives include safety training, safety and health audits, targeted safety interventions that focus on higher risk occupations, workplace ergonomics, student event safety, peer safety committees, construction safety support, and safety programs designed to keep employees safe (e.g. biological and chemical safety, hearing conservation, respiratory protection).
Employees are encouraged through training, safety committees, supervisors, University leadership and Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) representatives to be aware of their surroundings and report safety concerns immediately. This can be done directly by contacting WUSTL EH&S, their supervisor, campus police or through an anonymous safety recommendation form on the EH&S web page.
