EH&S staff investigated nearly 700 accidents to learn more about their cause and to determine what might be done to prevent recurring injuries on campus.  Based on severity and potential for improvement, EH&S selected 51 accidents for comprehensive analysis in cooperation with University Human Resources. This collaborative effort will ultimately prevent future accidents, protecting the campus community from injury and reducing the cost of lost time accidents.

Slips, trips, and falls are the leading cause of injuries on campus, followed by burns, cuts, and hazardous materials exposures. In December, EH&S implemented the Safe Winter Walking Campaign to remind students and employees of winter walking hazards on campus.
