Campus Safety

The N.C. Department of Labor recently bestowed its Silver Safety Achievement Award to the University for reducing injuries and providing a safe and healthy working, teaching and learning environment in 2013.
Darius Griffin, director of the Environmental Health & Safety Office, said the honor illustrates the campus community’s commitment to fostering a culture of safety at the University. “The leadership and dedication of UNC Charlotte employees has been essential in building and maintaining an awareness of safety on campus.”

Lt. Brian Thomas from the Department of Police and Public Safety discussed the University’s evacuation plans and what the campus community needs to know about emergency preparedness on the recent edition of “The Live Wire,” Inside UNC Charlotte’s streaming webcast.
