In light of the tragedy that occurred at Virginia Tech, the Oregon State Police and the Department of Public Safety, along with other campuses, are looking at what lessons can be learned and improvements made. This includes notification processes and researching available technology.

The Oregon State Safety code requires that first aid supplies be available in close proximity to all employees. The required supplies are based upon the intended use and types of injuries that could occur in the work environment. Each department is responsible for determining how many first aid kits are needed for its work areas and the development of a program for maintaining these kits. First aid kits and replacement supplies are available through the Department of Recreational Sports Safety Programs (737-5411).
