Health and Safety Challenges in South African Universities: A Qualitative Review of Campus Risks and Institutional Responses

Abstract

South African universities remain exposed to preventable student risks. Targeted interventions, mandatory safety audits, emergency response units, and accountability structures are urgently needed to address systemic failings and protect student welfare. The study supports Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 4 by linking campus safety to student well-being and equitable access to higher education.
