Environmental Health and Safety is helping build sustainable laboratory safety programs by engaging with researchers, faculty and students across the university and offering support, process improvement and recommendations.

Prior to 2018, EH&S noted that laboratories were struggling to maintain compliance with certain safety regulations. As EH&S staff and resources expanded, they began formalizing processes and developing a stronger culture of safety practices in laboratories.
