Environment

We each share the responsibility for managing and protecting our natural environmental resources. EHS administers many environmental programs required by federal, state and local laws and regulations. EHS provides assistance to departments in meeting these regulatory requirements. While regulatory compliance is critical, proactive environmental stewardship and leadership are equally important.  

Occupational Health & Safety

EHS staff is dedicated to reducing the risk of illness & injury on campus by working closely with departments to anticipate and proactively eliminate risks and hazards. EHS assists departments in complying with the wide variety of OSHA/MIOSHA requirements associated with department activities. Some of the programs provided include employee safety training, medical monitoring coordination, injury investigation, and much more.  

Emergency Preparedness & Response

An all-hazards approach to emergency preparedness is the framework UM-Flint uses to prepare for and respond to various emergencies. The All Hazards Planning Team is committed to promoting and sustaining a Campus Culture of Preparedness. It is important for all of us to know what to do in an emergency.
