Environmental Health & Safety
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.

Safety Jam
Thank you to all who attended the January Safety Jam where we had a guest speaker from the Department of Emergency Management talk about emergency evacuations.
The purpose of quarterly "Safety Jam" meetings is to bring together those on campus who have an active role 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.
The next Safety Jam will be Friday, April 21st, 2023 from 8:30 to 10:00 AM in the Kennedy Library, room 209.
We hope to see you there!
