Classroom

Classroom safety at NC State University is a cornerstone of the university’s commitment to creating a healthy and supportive learning environment for all students and faculty. Whether in lecture halls, seminar rooms, or teaching labs, classroom spaces are designed to foster academic achievement while prioritizing the safety of all who use them. NC State encourages a shared responsibility for safety, where faculty, students, and staff are actively involved in recognizing and addressing potential risks, ensuring tidy and organized spaces, and adhering to safe practices. From maintaining clear walkways to using classroom equipment properly, the university works to make every classroom a space where safety is an inherent part of the learning experience.

The Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department plays a crucial role in supporting classroom safety through a variety of proactive initiatives. These include providing training on emergency procedures, fire safety protocols, and general hazard awareness. EHS also offers guidance on maintaining proper ventilation, addressing trip and fall hazards, and ensuring that equipment is safe to use. By focusing on prevention, education, and continuous improvement, EHS ensures that NC State classrooms are safe, inclusive, and conducive to effective learning and teaching.
