H&S is everyone’s business. Slips, trips and falls cause 26% of all serious injuries at UNSW, so if you see a loose paver, uplifted carpet or a spill let Estate Management know. If you have identified a hazard, report it via the Health, Safety and Environment portal on myUNSW or call Estate Management on 9385 5111.  See Reporting Hazards & Incidents for further information.

School Emergency Procedures

In the event of an emergency call Security on 9385 6666.

UNSWalert - SMS Emergency Notification System

An emergency or crisis situation can arise with very little warning and could seriously impact on your safety on campus. With this in mind UNSW provides an emergency notification system that operates via mobile phone SMS/text. Staff and students are automatically registered to receive an SMS alert when emergency situations arise. Please note there will be an annual test of the system for quality assurance purposes.

For further details on UNSW emergency procedures see Estate Management Emergencies.
