On Campus
Campus safety at NC State University is rooted in a proactive, community-focused approach that prioritizes the well-being of everyone who learns, works, and visits campus. The university fosters an environment of shared responsibility, where students, faculty, staff, and volunteers all play a role in maintaining a safe and healthy space. Whether in classrooms, laboratories, offices, or outdoor spaces, the emphasis is on creating a workplace culture where safety is second nature. NC State’s vibrant campus is supported by a wide range of services and resources that help prevent incidents and ensure a quick, effective response when needed.
The Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department plays a key role in this effort by using targeted safety programs, comprehensive training, and hazard assessments to mitigate risk. Techniques like regular safety inspections, emergency preparedness drills, and clear reporting protocols help identify and address potential hazards early. EHS also offers specialized programs tailored to different environments—such as lab safety training for researchers and ergonomic support for office workers. By combining education, technology, and continuous improvement, the department ensures that every member of the Wolfpack can thrive in a secure and supportive campus environment.
