Downloading Resources

Resources are reference materials shared by your Safety Leadership. Unlike policies, they don’t require acknowledgement — just download and use as needed.

What’s Available?

Resources can include:

TypeExamples
MapsCampus layouts, emergency exit routes, staging areas.
FormsBlank incident report templates, contact sheets.
ManualsEquipment guides, radio protocols, first aid references.
SOPsStandard operating procedure documents.
Training MaterialsHandouts, presentations, reference cards.

Accessing Resources

  1. Navigate to Policies in the sidebar.
  2. Look for items marked as “Resource” rather than “Policy”.
  3. Click on the resource to open it.

Resources and Policies appear in the same section. Check the type label to distinguish them.

Viewing vs. Downloading

In-Browser Preview

For supported file types:

  • PDF — Opens in a document viewer.
  • Images — Displays directly on screen.

This lets you quickly reference materials without downloading.

Download to Your Device

For all file types, click “Download” to save locally:

  • PDF — Save for offline reading or printing.
  • Images — Save for quick reference.
  • Other files — ZIP archives, Word docs, etc., will always download.

Some files (ZIP, video, etc.) cannot be previewed. They’ll download directly when clicked.

Tips for Using Resources

Keep Critical Items Accessible

Consider saving frequently-used resources to your device:

  • Campus maps for offline use
  • Emergency contact lists
  • Quick reference cards

Check for Updates

Resources may be updated over time. If you downloaded a file previously:

  • Check the last updated date on the resource.
  • Re-download if a newer version is available.

Printing

For maps and reference cards, consider printing a physical copy to keep with your gear or in your vehicle.
