We care about the health, safety, and well-being of our UNT community!

Protecting the health and safety of everyone at UNT is a priority. Our UNT community can trust that our team is driven to provide the safest campus possible as we continuously review and update our safety programs.

We have a beautiful campus with many historic buildings which can bring us challenges at times, including, but not limited to:

• The possibility of asbestos in some building materials
• Occasional indoor air quality issues due to high humidity, reduced air flow, or our North Texas summer heat
• Need for work or repairs in confined spaces
• Need for the use of equipment and/or machinery to perform repairs or maintenance work in elevated areas of our buildings

Our Occupational Safety Program is in place to protect our UNT community members from potential exposure to chemicals, irritants, and high risk activities that might cause harm. If you are planning on disturbing building material from putting a nail into a wall to major remodeling of any building space, or work in confined spaces, please read through our three (3) sections of information below: Asbestos Program, Indoor Air Quality, and Permitting, as some of the safety procedures and permits information may apply to your work plans.

*If there is construction or work being done in a building where you are at on campus, a Facilities work control service ticket can be submitted to help alert their team and ours to any issues so that we can inspect and work together to help you.
