Safety

Everyone - student, staff and faculty - is ultimately responsible for his/her own safety.

  • UW Safety Portal - The UW has a website focused on campus safety and emergency preparedness, with links to dozens of resources. Visit the site to familiarize yourself with information on fire and evacuation, hazardous materials, lab safety, training, and more before an emergency or need arises. You also will find a link to sign up for the UW Alert text and email message service, to be notified of emergencies or crisis situations that may disrupt the normal operation of the UW.
  • Safe Campus - The SafeCampus website provides information on counseling and safety resources, University policies, and violence reporting requirements that help the UW maintain a safe personal, work, and learning environment. They offer violence prevention and response training workshops (dates listed on their web site), required training  for all UW faculty and staff every two years.
  • There are first aid kits in various places throughout the School. In Hutchinson, there are kits in both lounges. If one of them is empty, please report it to the main office, so we can replenish it.
  • UW's Incident Reporting - If you have an accident or are injured, please remember to report it. Include near misses, hazardous conditions, and accidents or injuries involving employees, students, UW volunteers working on or off campus, or members of the public visiting campus. Call EH&S immediately at 206.543.7262 if the incident involves any of the following: In-patient hospitalization, recombinant/synthetic DNA exposure or spill; fatality
  • Night ride - If you live to the west, north or east, within a mile of campus and you stay on campus after dark, take NightRide home. The NightRide shuttle takes you from campus right to your front door, U-PASS holders ride for free.
  • Husky NightWalk - A uniformed guard assistance program that uses full-time security guards to assist students, staff, and faculty members to various locations on campus and within a one-mile radius off campus. (206)685-WALK.
  • The School of Drama has a safety committee composed of Josie Gardner (chair),  Cathy Madden, Anne Stewart, and Alex Danilchik. Any safety problem can be reported to any one of these people.

Security

Security should be a concern to all faculty, students and staff at the School. If you need access to Hutchinson Hall after hours, please contact the front desk at uwdrama@uw.edu. All doors and windows must be closed when you leave a room, even if you know someone is coming in right after you.

If you see someone who is engaging in suspicious activity or appears to need immediate support - call 911.
