Our Mission
Environmental Health and Safety is responsible for development, oversight, and management of environmental, occupational health, and safety programs that protect the environment, provide safe and healthy conditions for work and study, and comply with applicable laws and regulations. EHS staff functions as consultants to Deans, Directors, heads of Academic and Administrative units, other staff members, and students in all areas of environmental health and safety. In addition to consultation, the division makes health and safety investigations as necessary and upon request, assists departmental safety personnel in the development of departmental safety programs, and participate in health and safety training and education projects.
Environmental Health and Safety provides technical assistance in determining existing or potential health and safety hazards. Assistance is provided through consultations and code interpretations either for existing operations and facilities or for those which are being planned. Additionally, EHS inspects and reports on the environmental, health, and safety aspects of University operations and facilities. Such inspections may be routine, or at the request of a department; the results will be reported to the appropriate administrative personnel.
EHS maintains reference materials from local, state, and federal agencies, particularly concerning rules and regulations affecting campus operations, and assists in the technical interpretation of same. EHS develops additional appropriate environmental, health, and safety standards for unique campus situations and submits them for administrative approval.
