Julie Moos wants to make our jobs easier by keeping us safe. As the safety training officer for Risk Management & Safety (RMS), Julie and her safety training specialists develop and manage all safety training programs for UNLV. She loves helping people learn more about safety, especially face-to-face. “My favorite part of the job is in-person training classes. I love seeing the lightbulb go off as someone realizes how safety can make a difference,” Julie says.
A native of Southern California, Julie considers herself a de facto Las Vegas local after moving to the valley in 1999. She began her career with UNLV in 2017 and has enjoyed being a part of the department's success. “As a safety professional, my first thought is how can I educate people to prevent incidents from happening,” Julie says. Over the last six years, she has overseen an expansion of programming that included shifting to online training and adding accessibility features. “When changing platforms from the vault to REBELearn, we took the opportunity to make our training more substantive and accessible,” Julie says. Online training courses allow those who work remotely to stay up to speed with safety knowledge while away from campus.
Julie collaborates with departments across campus to achieve safety compliance. "Recently, I trained student workers in the theatre department who operate aerial lift equipment during stage productions,” she says. She encourages departments to reach out and work with her. Safety training courses, with the exception of CPR certification, are free. “Doing things the safe way is not only the right way, in many cases, it’s also the easiest way,” she says. Check out this UNLV Today announcement for information about upcoming safety training courses.
When she isn’t promoting safety on campus, she enjoys traveling with her family. “We love camping and visiting Disney World,” Julie says. She loves going to places she’s never visited. Julie plans to camp in Yellowstone National Park and take her family to London in the near future.
It’s not unusual to find Julie at a Tom Jones concert. She has attended several of his concerts in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. She once even contemplated flying to England to see Jones perform when his American tour dates were sparse.
