Simple Actions Can Have a Powerful Impact

Creating a safe workplace across our university is a multi-faceted effort that includes taking simple actions to advance physical, psychological and cultural safety. All three are equally critical aspects of feeling safe in the workplace.

The Simple Acts of Safety initiative works to physically insert these reminders into the university community through decals and provides access to online resources to help you succeed. Each decal has a simple action and guides you to the accompanying resources for more information.

Review the list below to learn more about the many simple actions you can take to foster a culture of care in your workplace.
