Who We Are

The University Safety Committee

The University Safety Committee of the University of Peradeniya is the central body responsible for overseeing, coordinating, and promoting all safety-related activities across the university campus.

Established to serve the entire university community — students, academic staff, non-academic staff, and visitors — our committee works tirelessly to ensure that every corner of the campus meets the highest safety standards.

Through regular training programmes, emergency preparedness drills, safety inspections, and community awareness initiatives, we strive to build a culture of safety that empowers every individual to act responsibly and confidently in any situation.
