UW Environmental Health & Safety's mission is to partner with the UW community to provide a healthy and safe campus and protect our environment.
The University of Washington is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for faculty, staff, students, visitors, and volunteers in all sites owned, operated, or controlled by the University. This commitment includes supporting a culture of health and safety across the University.
Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) is an administrative unit that assists University units in meeting their responsibility to protect the environment and to provide a safe and healthful place for employment and learning. Please read about our services described below.
The EH&S Annual Report FY21 summarizes the work and accomplishments of the Environmental Health & Safety Department during fiscal year 2021.
Avoid accidents and injuries by following the Paper Cutter Safety tips.
The Respiratory Illness Flowchart provides instructions for University personnel and students who have respiratory illness symptoms, or were exposed to someone with a respiratory illness.
A text version of the flowchart appears on the Respiratory Illness and Exposure Guidance page.
The Prevent Stormwater Pollution Focus Sheet asks the UW campus community to protect our waterways by keeping pollutants out of stormwater drains and reporting spills to EH&S.
Rescue services for confined spaces must be specially qualified, trained, and equipped personnel to enter and remove Entrants from confined spaces. This could be a special unit within a local fire department or a third party company. To meet regulations, the UW unit or department/Confined Space Owner/Entry Supervisor must evaluate rescue services to determine qualified providers that can perform rescues in the specific UW confined spaces with the PRCS Rescue Service Evaluation Form.
The Permit-Required Confined Space (PRCS) Entry Form is required for entry into any permit-required confined space. The PRCS Entry Form may be used for either an alternative methods entry or a permit entry depending on the hazards present in the space and the ability to eliminate or control the hazards.
