What to Expect After Reporting a Safety Issue or Accident

Your report will go to the Department of Risk Management for review and triage. If necessary, we will follow up with you to obtain additional information about the safety issue. For accidents, we will perform an accident investigation and contact you for further information. These investigations allow the Risk Management team to determine "root causes" and create preventative safety measures. Investigations are not punitive in any way.

Report Safety Concerns

Please use the TWU Safety Concern Form any time you see or experience an unsafe condition at the university. For example, slippery or damaged walking surfaces may not seem like much; however, they can cause trips and falls, which can result in serious injuries.

Please note this safety concern form is for physical and occupational hazards. If your concern is related to a student in distress, please see this webpage to submit a Student Life Behavioral Assessment Report. If your concern is related to the protection of the general public (e.g., police-related matters), please contact the TWU Police Department.
