Mission
The Mission of the Department of Environment Health and Safety is to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for faculty, staff, and students, to promote work practices that do not harm the environment, comply with any and all rules and regulations pertaining to occupational health and safety and the environment, and to protect University resources through sound administration of the University’s insurance coverage.
Motto: "Seguridad - It's in Everyone's Job Description!"
The safety department cannot be everywhere at one time. Consequently, our success is dependent on the successful integration of our programs into all of the academic and health care departments and programs, as well as the active participation of the entire campus community. It's important that all of the campus community be aware of environmental health and safety rules and regulations as it applies to their workplace and notify the safety department in the event that a recognizable hazard exists.
Goal
"To ensure that you are as healthy and safe when you leave at the end of the day as when you arrived in the morning"
