    Report a UF Safety Environmental Hazardous Condition

    It is often possible to personally correct a hazardous condition ( e.g. wiping up a spilled drink off the floor, straightening a floor mat by a door). On other occasions, others must be involved to eliminate a hazard. Corrections often only take place if the hazard has been identified and those empowered to the reduce risk are aware of the hazard.

    • If you can not personally eliminate or guard against the hazard then report it to the supervisor of an area), to a maintenance or administrative group, or to EH&S.
    • Below is a set of units to call with potential hazards identified at the university.
    • Anyone who observes University of Florida conditions viewed as hazardous or environmentally unsafe is encouraged to report them to UF authorities.
