Environmental Health and Safety assists the campus in providing a safe and healthful workplace through the development and implementation of programs which minimize the risk of occupationally related injury or illness. Also, EH&S develops and implements programs to ensure the safe use, handling and storage of hazardous materials and appropriate and compliant disposal of hazardous wastes. These are accomplished through employee training programs, procedures and policies, and compliance surveys.

Thank you to all who attended the last Safety Jam in July where our own Deputy Chief of Police, Bryan Cox, discussed safety on campus durring emergencies.
The next Safety Jam will be Friday, October 20th, 2023 from 8:30 to 10:00 AM in building 70, room 110. Topic is TBD. We hope to see you there!
The purpose of quarterly "Safety Jam" meetings is to bring together those on campus who have an active rol in health and safety, to build a network of support across departments, enhance our collective body of knowledge, and have a forum for communicating safety-related issues, news, and events. Safety Jams are open to anyone who would like to attend. We always have doughnuts!
