Environmental Health & Safety is dedicated to:

Providing compliance oversight and consulting help in all areas of safety, health and environmental compliance. We do this by:

  • Acting as a role model and community leader.
  • Reviewing the University’s impact on health, safety, and the environment on an ongoing basis.
  • Seeking innovative ways to prevent environmental pollution.
  • Examining constantly the University’s compliance with relevant legislation and regulations as they relate to the environment.

Please feel free to contact our office at anytime with questions or suggestions on how to improve safety and environmental stewardship at Washington University in St. Louis. We look forward to serving you.
