College Safety and Security Toolkit
Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning. — Winston Churchill.
Protecting the safety of students, employees and visitors is a critical priority at Washington's 34 community and technical colleges. It requires effort from the entire campus community and an understanding of evidence-based best practices.
Developed by the Safety and Security Emergency Management Council (SSEMC), this toolkit helps campus personnel quickly find basic information, national standards, best practices, and advice from fellow colleagues.
This toolkit is not intended as a sole source of information. Rather, it should be used as a portal to other valuable sources.
Occupational health and safety programs are designed to keep employees safe and healthy. Protecting employees from injuries is a both a moral obligation and a legal mandate. Refer to the Occupational Health and Safety Compliance page of this toolkit for more information.
