Our Purpose: Appalachian State University strives to provide a safe and healthful environment, free from recognized hazards which may cause serious injury to students, employees, and visitors. This is accomplished by maintaining a comprehensive safety and health program which involves all university employees.

In carrying out its responsibility to provide a safe and healthy environment, the University has established the Safety & Workers' Compensation Office. This office serves as a resource for every person at the University. The Safety & Workers' Compensation Office develops policies and procedures to accomplish the goal of a safe and healthful environment.

Appalachian State University believes that its most valuable resource is the people who teach, learn and work at this institution, and will do all that is reasonable and necessary to protect them.
