Environmental Health & Safety

You are here

The mission of Environmental Health and Safety is to promote a safe and healthful environment for the University through the development and implementation of health, safety and regulatory compliance programs and procedures, which include hazardous waste management, NRC License administration, inspections, training sessions and emergency response action.

Our Role at Lehigh

The Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) Department is the official contact point for outside regulatory agencies and emergency response actions for spills, fires and unplanned releases of hazardous materials.  EH&S stays current on regulations and standards which apply to the University and provides advice and counsel on best practices.  EH&S is not the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), nor any other national, state, or local regulatory agency which enforces standards and regulations.
