Guidance Sheets
Environmental Health & Safety issues periodic informational bulletins. Typically, these take the form of Guidance Documents, Hazard Alerts, or Standard Operating Procedures.
- Guidance Documents are intended to clarify recommended safety procedures and expectations for various campus operations, whether in a laboratory, maintenance or office setting.
- Hazard Alerts are designed to notify the campus community of recent incidents or accidents that may recur if similar conditions exist. Such events may have happened at our university or other locations.
- Standard Operating Procedures are normally provided as a template for the use of those who may need them. Each procedure is prepared in a standardized format.
We hope you find this information of value. If you would like to see EHS address a particular issue, please let us know.
