Annual Safety Fair
Every spring term, the University’s Department of Public Safety and Emergency Management and the Student Government Board host an annual Safety Fair. At this event, faculty, staff, and students have the opportunity to visit with representatives from multiple University departments, including Pitt Police and the Department of Environmental Health and Safety, to learn about personal and campus safety.
Coffee with a Cop program
Various times throughout the year, the Pitt Police Community Programs team participates in Coffee with a Cop program. This allows the entire University community to connect with the Pitt Police in a relaxed and open setting.
Fire Safety Day
Each fall term, the Department of Environmental Health and Safety hosts a Fire Safety Day for students, staff, and faculty. Staff members are available at this event to answer questions regarding fire safety, and it includes interactive demonstrations on how to properly use fire extinguishers.
Staff Council Campus Safety Crawl
The Campus Safety Crawl is a campus-wide safety walk led by members of the Staff Council’s Staff Life committee and representatives from the Pitt Police, various Pitt offices, and Oakland community organizations. The purpose of the Crawl is to identify and highlight pedestrian, vehicular and bicycle safety issues across Pitt’s campus. In addition to the actual walk, we have created an online survey to reach those who may not have been able to make it, or who have an office outside of the main Pittsburgh campus. The Campus Safety Crawl takes place, at least, once a year. For information about the safety crawl, please email Staff Council.
