A variety of in-depth educational training sessions are offered to our campus community covering personal safety, workplace safety and safety compliance. Many sessions are available online, and some are conducted in a live classroom setting. Select a topic in the Available Trainings list on this page to find out more about each offering. Several short, informational videos are also available below for those needing just a quick overview of important safety areas.
Physical Safety and Communications
Faculty, staff and students have access to Rave Guardian, the companion app to CMU-Alert, CMU's emergency notification service. This free mobile app connects you to CMU-Alert notifications and CMU Police, and offers helpful features, such as a safety timer to notify contacts if you don't arrive to your destination as expected. Carnegie Mellon also has emergency communications devices across campus, as well as an evening escort service for local commuters.
