Construction season safety tips

Construction season is in full swing at UNMC, which can make it difficult to get around campus. (See sidebar.)

Substantial construction on the east side of the campus means employees would do well to plan a little before heading across campus.
Once the projects are completed, it will be easier and safer than ever before to move across campus.

But until then, here are some tips to help you safely and efficiently traverse the campus:

  • Plan extra time so you are not late and have to rush.
  • Use the alternate routes (See map of construction).
  • Watch for vehicles and equipment — they may not be able to see you!
  • Be alert and look both ways when crossing streets near projects.
  • Don’t walk under cranes or in close proximity to operating equipment.
  • Do not jump over or go around barricades.
  • Report hazards and concerns to the Facilities Help Desk at 402-559-4050 or Campus Safety at 402-559-7315.
