Working Together to Keep EVMS and Our Environment Safe

Environmental Health & Safety provides assistance to faculty and staff working with hazardous materials. Potentially hazardous materials include biological and infectious organisms, hazardous chemicals, and radioactive materials. EVMS possesses applicable federal, state, and local licenses and permits to use and dispose of these materials. Compliance with regulations issued by these agencies is accomplished through training courses, laboratory evaluations and record-keeping functions.
