| Dear Members of the Campus Community,
As we start the Fall Semester, it’s important to prioritize safety. Slips, trips and falls are among the largest causes of workplace injuries. Sprained and broken limbs are often the result of a slip, trip or fall. Many injuries occur each year because organizations are unaware of potential hazards at their facilities. As members of the Wilkes University community, we can look out for one another not only during the winter season, but also all year long by reporting spills, patches of ice, obstructions in walkways or other indoor hazards on stairs and in hallways. The first and most important thing you can do to prevent others and yourself from sustaining an injury is to contact Wilkes facilities department and report any indoor or outdoor walking hazards. By doing so, you are becoming an active participant in the safety of Wilkes University’s caring community and contributing to a safe environment for everyone to enjoy. If you observe a walking hazard on campus, please report it by emailing 2fix@wilkes.edu or dialing (570) 408-2fix (2349).
In addition to reporting a safety hazard, here are some ways you can prevent injuries from slips, trips and falls for yourself and others during inclement weather:
Safety is a top priority in our campus community. Become a partner in helping our facilities department to continue providing a clean, pleasant and safe campus environment for everyone.
