COVID-19 and other Respiratory Illness
The university is closely monitoring the rapidly changing situation, we recommend that you continue to check with the UM-Flint Respiratory Illness Information for questions you may have.
Environment
We each share the responsibility for managing and protecting our natural environmental resources. EHS administers many environmental programs required by federal, state and local laws and regulations. EHS provides assistance to departments in meeting these regulatory requirements. While regulatory compliance is critical, proactive environmental stewardship and leadership are equally as important.
Occupational Health & Safety
EHS staff is dedicated to reducing risk of illness & injury on campus by working closely with departments to anticipate and proactively eliminate risks and hazards. EHS assists departments in complying with the wide variety of OSHA/MIOSHA requirements associated with department activities. Some of the programs provided are employee safety training, coordinate medical monitoring, conduct injury investigations, and much more.
Emergency Preparedness & Response
An all hazards approach to emergency preparedness is the framework UM-Flint uses when preparing and responding to various emergencies. The All Hazards Planning Team is committed to promote and sustain a Campus Culture of Preparedness. It is important for all of us to know what to do in an emergency.
