The Department of
Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) is a
centralized service for monitoring the acquisition,
storage, use, and proper disposal of hazardous
materials used in teaching, research, and industrial
services at UMKC. Safety training is provided
through the specific division of EHS with records
kept for compliance purposes. For specific
regulatory requirements designated by granting
institutions EHS relies on the Radiation Safety
Committee and the Biosafety Committee to establish
appropriate safety policies and programs in
accordance with regulatory guidelines while
evaluating the research being conducted at UMKC.
The Occupational Safety &
Health program has been designed and implemented by
EHS to provide University employees and constituents
with a safe work environment. This program is
in accordance with the UM system Business Policy.
In the event of a federal or
state regulatory enforcement investigation, EHS will
coordinate the University's response by accompanying
the investigator while on the campus and providing
liaison support to the University faculty and staff
throughout the entire process. The Director of EHS
will attend the formal closeout session documenting
all findings to ensure compliance is maintained.
In order to continually certify
that UMKC is in compliance with appropriate safety
regulations and our environmental management system,
it is necessary for the Director of EHS to
periodically perform compliance assessments of
university safety programs. From these
assessments an Annual Environmental Compliance
Report will be provided to the Chancellor detailing
the status of compliance, recommended program
modifications, and significant regulatory changes.
