Reporting Unsafe Acts and Conditions

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,

Please help us to improve safety at the University by reporting unsafe acts or conditions which you are unable to correct and which  may result in injury or property damage. If you correct a dangerous situation please advise us so that we can keep an eye on it and use the correction in our safety training sessions.

For prompt reporting of such imminent dangerous situations you can call x2360 on Campus, x6019 at AUBMC, 03/334306, 08/345151 or x100 at AREC during working hours. At any time outside working hours, you can call the protection office at x2400, the service desk at x2015 for Campus, the VDC Center at x6521 for AUBMC and 03/334306 for AREC. You can also use the telephone or email ehsc@aub.edu.lb to report less urgent dangerous situations.

The importance of prompt reporting is that it gives us the chance to correct the unsafe practice or condition before it results in an accident. This will help us protect people and property. The identity of persons reporting such matters can be kept confidential upon request.

Some examples of situations that pose imminent danger include: slippery or uneven walking surfaces, possibility of falling objects during work or construction-unprotected areas beneath construction or repair activities, being able to see a welding arc, blocking of fire exits or exit ways such as corridors, gas leaks, flame or heat source near flammable materials, spills of hazardous materials, etc.

Your help in assisting us to be proactive in this important matter will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.
