“If our students do not see and experience
safety & health best practices being
implemented in the university, they will also
most likely enter the workforce ignorant of

WHERE ARE
WE?
Safety Culture in NUS
“The goal of a strong safety culture in an academic institution is to have administrators, faculty, and staff who care strongly about safety, who have strong knowledge of safety, who teach safety to their students throughout the curriculum, and who promote safety through their leadership and lead by example.”
Creating Safety Cultures in Academic Institutions, Page 14
Our Achievements
“If our students do not see and experience safety &
health best practices being implemented in the
university, they will also most likely enter the
workforce ignorant of safety & health issues. So,
in NUS, our responsibility to maintain high safety
standards is even greater.”
