TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR CAMPUS WITH LIVESAFE

  1. Host a webinar early in the semester with new students as they arrive on campus or remain remote. Introduce them to the LiveSafe app and how they can make a difference for their new community. 
  2. Post instructions to download the LiveSafe app and additional supporting resources on social media and campus websites that students and faculty interact with. Remind students, faculty, and staff that they can use LiveSafe to stay informed and safe on campus or a remote location. 
  3. Encourage your campus faculty and staff to download and use LiveSafe. Campus employees are an important component of your academic community and play a key role in reporting safety concerns, especially for students who may be remote. 
  4. Include downloading the LiveSafe app on onboarding materials for new students and faculty. Consider including LiveSafe tutorial videos and supporting resources for new campus members to access.
  5. Incorporate WorkSafe into your organization’s return to school plans. Visit the WorkSafe website or reach out to your Account Manager if you have any questions about how WorkSafe can help your organization get employees and students back to campus or school safely with Health Surveys and Check-Ins, COVID-19 Questions and Resources, and other core LiveSafe features.
