Reporting Safety Concerns
Maintenance/Repairs
If you have a general facilities request or maintenance concern please contact the Facilities Management. Facilities staff is on campus Monday-Fridays, from 7am-3:30pm.
If you have any questions, please call 503-352-2213.
For EMERGENCIES, please call CPS at 503-352-2230 (FG Campus) 503-352-7207 (HPC Campus).
Building Hazards/Workplace Hazards
If you are concerned about the safety or condition of a particular facility or space and it is NOT an emergency situation you may submit a concern to the Building Safety Program using the QR code below.
PLEASE NOTE: This does not create a work order for Facilities and is not intended to be a maintenance or repair request.
When you submit a concern using the QR code it will be sent to the Office of Business Continuity and Emergency Management (BCEM). This office works with the Health and Safety Advisory Committee (HSAC) to conduct workplace and building safety inspections.
If you believe there is imminent danger due to the hazard, please call CPS at 503-352-2230 (FG Campus) 503-352-7207 (HPC Campus).
Accident/Injury Reporting
All accident and injuries should be reported to your supervisors and to Campus Public Safety (CPS) via the appropriate form.
The reporting forms can be found on the CPS Policies and Forms website.
