Safety Services
All faculty members, staff, students and visitors at UC Davis have an obligation to perform their work in a manner that does not endanger their health and safety, the well-being of others, or the university environment. Members of the campus community can participate in making the campus a safe place to work, study, and live by identifying health and/or safety hazards or unsafe conditions by informing those responsible for the problem area.
ECE students, staff and faculty should participate in making the department a healthy and safe working environment.
