Safety Resources for Instructors

Your leadership is crucial to building a safe & supportive community. Here's how you can help:

  • Prepare yourself with knowledge of building emergency plans, building exits, and general emergency procedures.
  • Announce safety information and procedures to your students during the first week of classes.
  • Complete the Active Shooter Preparedness training in Edge Learning.

 


Announcement to Students

Please alert your students to the options available in an emergency. We’ve provided an example of what you could say as a guide.

The University of Arizona is committed to creating and maintaining a safe learning environment for all students, faculty, and staff. Part of this mission includes educating the campus community on how to respond in an emergency. Emergencies can happen anywhere at any time so it’s important that we take a minute to prepare for a situation in which our safety could depend on our ability to react quickly.  

In an emergency, UAlert will send important text and email messages. These messages will also scroll across classroom message boards.  

Take a moment to learn the different ways to leave this building so if there is an emergency or a fire alarm, you’ll know how to get out and you’ll be able to help others get out.  

In addition, we encourage you to watch the 12-minute video Safety Preparedness Training: Active Shooter which can be found on safety.arizona.edu, along with other safety information and training resources.
