Environmental Health & Safety

Welcome to the Department of Environmental Health & Safety Web Site

The mission of the Department of Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) is to coordinate a comprehensive and continuing accident prevention and health maintenance effort compatible with the functions of the University. The program is designed to create a healthful and safe atmosphere for study, research, service and employment, and to promote good health and safety practices by the student body, faculty, staff and visitors. The program is intended as a guide in planning, organizing and controlling related programs in each college and administrative unit. The objective of the program is the protection of life and property by prevention of accidents and environmental related diseases.  

EHS is a component of Human Resources (HR). Dr. Alan Chesney serves as the Executive Director of HR.
