Safety advice for Staff

Last update: January 2025

If you have not already got it on your phone, please download the University’s safety and security app SafeZone. 

Please be vigilant and be aware of tailgating when entering and leaving your work building or premises. 

Where possible, ensure your desk is clear at the end of the day and do not leave any items unattended and on show, ensure all doors and windows are left secure. Please make every effort to lock rooms and areas (if possible) when they are not in use, and to ensure internal swipe doors and fire exits are kept secure. If relevant, ensure intruder alarms are set when the last person has vacated the building or premises.

If you observe any doors or windows left open or witness suspicious activity across site then please remember that you can contact Campus Safety and Security Control on our 24-hour line: 0114 2224085 or for emergencies only, call 0114 2224444.

Campus Safety and Security Management team are engaging with University EFM departments to promote the benefits of using our Safezone system and app. If you wish to get involved and want further information, please email security-management-team-group@sheffield.ac.uk.

The Campus Safety and Security webpages have lots of advice on keeping yourself and your property safe.

We would remind everyone of our personal safety advice
