UNC Charlotte will conduct a full-scale exercise of its family assistance center plan on Thursday, Oct. 25, and Friday, Oct. 26, at the Harris Alumni Center.

A family assistance center is a location where families can receive information and support services in the event of a severe emergency affecting members of the campus community.

During the exercise, emergency service vehicles from community agencies may be seen in the area.

Slip, trip and fall incidents are among the leading cause of occupational injuries nationwide, but they are the leading cause of occupational injuries at UNC Charlotte. In 2017, 39 percent of occupational injuries on campus were the result of a slip, trip or fall. These seemingly minor incidents can lead to pain and serious discomfort. If an employee is out of work, it affects the productivity and efficiency of the corresponding campus unit or department.
