About General and Occupational Safety at Georgia Tech
The Office of General and Occupational Safety is committed to providing the Georgia Tech campus with a culture of safety through program development, providing specialized training to faculty, staff, and students, and performing safety inspections. Our mission is to ensure a safe environment for all who occupy the campus while complying with regulations and standards.
Contact us to schedule a job site analysis, enroll in construction and general industry safety awareness course, defensive driving and van safety, and if you see anything unsafe that can be a danger to yourself or the campus.
Injury Reporting
If medical treatment is necessary, the departmental supervisor must report the injury/illness to the State Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) by calling 877-656-7475 within 24 hours of the injury. The injury/illness must also be documented using the Georgia Tech Injury/Illness Reporting Form through the EHS website using the appropriate login credentials.
Note: Claims may only be reported by a supervisor/Human Resources representative. Employees cannot call in their own claims.
Good Catch Program
Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to report conditions that they believe could have resulted in more serious consequences so proper actions can be implemented to prevent future injuries or property damage. Keep others safe by reporting a “Good Catch!”
