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

Visit Safety Sheet Library

Heat Illness Prevention
This safety sheet breaks down the possible signs and symptoms of heat illness including a helpful "what to do" should you experience any level of heat illness. 
Heat Illness - Regulations
A companion to Heat Illness Prevention, this safety sheet outlines OSHA's requirements for working at various hot temperatures. 
Building Safety Culture
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.
Environmental Health and Safety
Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) helps to create a safe and healthful environment. Made up of six groups, EHS works collaboratively university wide to advise on compliance with federal and state standards, codes, and regulations
