We are dedicated to educating the University community about occupational and environmental health and safety issues. We will consistently provide professional services in a timely manner in the areas of hazardous waste minimization and disposal, biosafety, food safety, pest control, indoor air quality, health and safety training, and consultations. In collaboration with other University departments and safety oriented committees, OEH&S strives to develop and implement effective health and safety programs that will ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal public health regulations. We are dedicated to adequately anticipating potential workplace hazards, preventing and reducing occupational injuries and illnesses, and providing timely response to health and safety emergencies. |
