Building a Stronger Safety Culture at NAU

Northern Arizona University has long recognized the value of strong safety programs. As a leader in higher education we know that the risks inherent to our activities are real and must be managed. We also recognize the organizational benefits of working and learning in an environment that reflects industry standards and best practices. As such, NAU intends to be at the forefront of the nation-wide trend toward proactively managing the risks associated with scholarship, research, and support operations on our campuses. NAU’s Campus Safety Culture Steering Committee has identified key elements that are supportive of the strong, sustainable culture we strive to create. As we progress through this implementation process, we hope that you will take advantage of the many resources available and opportunities to actively participate in this important culture shift.

Sincerely,

NAU Campus Safety Culture Steering Committee
