HSC eduSafe

The Texas A&M Health Science Center’s HSC eduSafe mobile app provides rapid access to all emergency procedures normally located in bulky flipcharts without requiring a data connection. By incorporating relevant safety and security information into the app, HSC eduSafe ensures that personnel in all areas of any HSC facility can access their campus specific safety procedures. This expanded access will help users handle many of the situations in which they might find themselves regardless of a data connection. The main features of HSC eduSafe are:o Access to emergency procedures regardless of Wi-Fi or data connectiono Anonymous reporting of any safety or security concernso Easier access to the HSC parking portalo Maps to our campuses and parking lotso “Request Security Escort” feature to call security to walk you to your car or class should you feel unsafeo Easier access to the HSC’s annual security reportso Greater access to forms and procedures for the HSC’s faculty such as inspection checklists, inventory order forms, and registration formsEssentially, we view this app as an “in-hand” liaison between safety and security and the HSC community.
