Besides offering teaching and research services, schools and universities also must provide for the safety and security of their employees, students, and visitors. This paper describes emergency preparedness in a sample of Italian universities. In particular it examines risk perception within a specific professional category (university safety and security officers) in a specific cultural context (Italy). In addition, it discusses the transposition and implementation in a European Union (EU) member state of EU Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989, on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers. The findings highlight heterogeneous and fragmented emergency management models within the Italian university system, underlining the need for a stricter framework of standardised safety protocols and emergency management guidelines. The study also points out that enhancing emergency planning and preparedness in Italian universities entails increasing safety leadership, employee engagement and individual responsibility for safety and security; essentially, it necessitates improving the culture of risk prevention.
除了提供教学和研究服务外，学校和大学还必须保障其员工、学生和访客的安全。本文描述了意大利一些大学的应急准备情况。特别是，它考察了特定文化背景下（意大利）特定职业类别（大学安全和保卫人员）的风险感知。此外，它还讨论了欧盟理事会指令 89/391/EEC 于 1989 年 6 月 12 日关于采取措施鼓励改善工人安全和健康的规定在欧盟成员国中的转译和执行情况。研究结果突出了意大利大学系统中应急管理模式的异构性和碎片化，强调需要更严格的标准化安全协议和应急管理指南框架。该研究还指出，加强意大利大学的应急规划和准备工作需要增强安全领导力、员工参与度以及对安全和安保的个人责任；从本质上讲，这需要改善预防风险的文化。
