At UVM, safety is a partnership and a shared responsibility, requiring the active involvement of people in all departments and positions. Whether you work in academic and research, facilities and property management, or any of the various indoor and outdoor settings - our goal is to help you be as safe as possible. Safety is everyone's responsibility.

Department of Environmental Health & Safety staff work in cooperation with Facilities Management, Custodial Services, Residential Life, Athletics, and other departments to identify, evaluate, and minimize exposures to workplace hazards on campus with the goal of reducing work-related injuries and illnesses.

A safe campus environment is a right of all employees and all those involved in education and research.
