About

The programs and services of Risk Management and Safety combine the technical disciplines of environmental health and safety with risk control and risk transfer. The University is a significant enterprise of teaching, research, and public service which include many areas and varieties of inherent hazard and loss exposure. We manage and coordinate the University’s effort to address these risks through the programs listed and described below:

Risk Management and Insurance Programs – including researching insurance markets and coverages and purchasing property, casualty, and most other insurance coverages (except for health, life and disability which is purchased by Human Resources).

Health and Safety Programs – including annual inspections of teaching and research laboratories, machine shops, athletic fields, fitness centers and weight rooms, playgrounds, and food sales operations; plan-review and safety consulting on new construction and renovations, and safety training.

Environmental Compliance Programs – including complete hazardous waste services to all generators on campus and consulting services to other departments on campus subject to environmental regulations.
