Our Mission

As an Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) professional at Fayetteville State University (FSU), we are dedicated to the continuous enhancement of our safety programs and practices. FSU has embarked on a comprehensive journey to elevate safety standards across our campus community. This commitment involves rigorous risk assessments, regular safety audits, and the implementation of comprehensive safety protocols to identify and mitigate potential hazards in all aspects of our operations.

 

Our Standard

One of our key priorities is to implement updated safety standards that align with industry best practices and regulatory requirements. This includes measures to address chemical safety, biological safety, radiation safety, and more, ensuring that FSU remains in compliance with all relevant guidelines and regulations.

 

Our Unity

Moreover, we recognize that safety is a collective responsibility. Therefore, we are actively fostering collaboration among various departments on campus, encouraging open communication and information sharing to address safety concerns holistically. This cross-disciplinary approach ensures a more coordinated and effective safety response.

 

Our Directive

To empower our campus community, we offer a wide range of safety training programs. Our goal is to equip faculty, staff, and students with the knowledge and skills necessary for a safe campus environment. This extensive training ensures that everyone is well-prepared to identify risks, respond to emergencies, and prevent accidents.

 

Our Culture

Beyond compliance, FSU is actively promoting a culture of safety. We believe that safety should not be just a priority, but a way of life. Through safety awareness campaigns, recognition programs, and continuous improvement initiatives, we encourage proactive safety behaviors and attitudes among our community members.

 

Our Path

Our dedication to growing our EHS programs, implementing robust safety standards, fostering collaboration, offering extensive training, and promoting a culture of safety reflects FSU's commitment to the well-being of our campus community. Through these concerted efforts, we are creating an environment where every member of our community can thrive safely and securely.
