Welcome to ESSR
Our Vision is a campus where safety and sustainability are core values at every level of the institution.
Heat Safety in the Workplace
As seasonal temperatures begin to rise, ESSR encourages the campus community to review heat safety tips and prepare for working or spending time outdoors during warmer conditions. Visit UMD’s Heat Safety resources to learn how to recognize heat-related illness, stay hydrated, and help keep yourself and others safe this season.
Purple Line Work Safety Requirements
Working near the Purple Line on the University of Maryland campus presents unique safety risks due to active light rail operations, overhead electrical wires, and restricted right-of-way areas. UMD staff planning or performing work within 25 feet of the rail must follow required safety practices and complete the training outlined below.
Terrapin Youth Protection Strategic Plan
The University of Maryland has launched a comprehensive strategic plan for establishing an enterprise-wide risk mangement system for any university-affiliated activity involving minors. This initiative fosters a culture of safeguarding and excellence in youth engagement. Learn more about Terrapin Youth Protection.
