Every day, thousands of us work in labs, classrooms, offices, and facilities across UNM. We all deserve to go home healthy and uninjured at the end of each workday.
Last year, preventable workplace injuries changed lives across our campus. Occupational safety concerns weren’t raised. Near-misses in labs, shops, and facilities went unreported. We can do better. Whether you work in a research lab, maintain our buildings, teach in a classroom, or support our mission in any way, you see workplace safety realities others don't. You know which safety procedures get skipped, where occupational hazards exist, and what would make your work environment safer.
This anonymous Culture of Safety survey is your direct line to improving occupational health and safety at UNM. It takes just 15 minutes, and your input is invaluable.
Real progress is already happening. When colleagues spoke up in our last assessment, UNM listened. We formed an Executive Safety Committee, launched new incident reporting systems, allocated resources for workplace safety improvements, and implemented department-specific safety measures. Now we need to know: Is it working?
We're asking for your honest perspectives on your daily workplace safety reality, your team's safety practices, leadership's commitment to occupational safety, and what would make your specific work environment safer. Your responses are anonymous and UNM sees only compiled results, never individual responses.
The survey focuses specifically on occupational health and safety: workplace hazards, safety equipment, training, procedures, and the safety culture in your work area. Every response shapes our workplace safety future. Your survey response could prevent their next workplace injury.
Don't let someone else speak for your workplace safety. The survey will open September 9.
