Safety Day at Humanitas University
A full day dedicated to health, safety, and environment.
On April 29th, on the occasion of the World Day for Health and Safety at Work, Humanitas University celebrated Safety Day 2025, transforming the campus into a large interactive lab to raise awareness among students and staff about the importance of safety in university and professional life: from classrooms to clinical settings, from personal wellbeing to environmental sustainability.
Once they received their “Safety Passport”, a plantable growing paper containing seeds, students began their safety tour by testing their skills through the activities organised at each station:
- Fire safety training
- Green game
- Mindful market
- Drive safe, stay focused
- Drink less, drive your best
- Job detective
- Safe and sound
- Safe(guard) emotions and empathy
- SHAN-ERGO
- Smell like safe sense
- Build safety, create the future
- Safety quiz
