Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) provides guidelines for identifying and selecting personal protective equipment to address the range of hazards and work environments associated with commonly performed indoor and outdoor tasks at the UW.
Laboratory PPE Hazard Assessment Guide
The Laboratory PPE Hazard Assessment Guide identifies hazards to which laboratory workers may be exposed and specifies PPE to protect against these hazards during work operations. When completed, the document and its associated training will satisfy the Department of Labor and Industries requirements for PPE as required in Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 296-800-160.
Hearing Loss Prevention Program
The UW Hearing Loss Prevention Program ensures the safety of University personnel through controlling exposure to noise levels that could result in occupational hearing loss.
MRI Medical Screening
The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) medical safety screening assures the safety of all UW employees who may be exposed to the magnetic resonance magnet.
Research MRI Medical Safety Screening Form
All persons MUST complete and submit the Research Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Medical Safety Screening Form prior to entry into MR suite or as directed.
Indoor Air Quality
UW employees, students and visitors should have a clean, healthy environment in which to work, study and perform various activities. If the air quality is poor it can affect a person’s comfort, health, and productivity. Common causes of air quality complaints include mechanical ventilation failures, inadequate outdoor air supply, odors from indoor or outdoor sources, and mold.
Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) works with campus partners to respond to and resolve concerns of building occupants about air quality issues in their work environments.
