Health and Safety News For The Princeton Community, August 2024

Princeton EHS is celebrating workplace safety with promotions, activities and giveaways.

Dear Princeton Campus Community,

Princeton University is committed to maintaining and advancing a culture where safety and health are core values, adopted and practiced throughout all levels of the University.

This month we join other organizations and businesses nationwide in marking Safe + Sound Week, August 12-16, 2024. The week gives us an opportunity to raise awareness of the value of safety and health programs, and reinforce our commitment to a safe and health working environment. 

I encourage all members of the campus community to explore programs offered by Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) at Princeton by going to ehs.princeton.edu or contacting EHS at 609-258-5294 or ehs@princeton.edu. 

Sincerely, 

Katie Callow-Wright

Executive Vice President

Princeton University

Take 10 minutes to inspect your workplace for safety issues related to equipment, housekeeping and other areas. Our checklist will help you identify and remediate common hazards.
