In 2024, EHSO will perform inspections by department. The Environmental Health & Safety Office (EHSO) must inspect laboratories on an annual basis or upon request to meet the Workplace Safety and Health legislative requirements. Inspections are intended as a mechanism to increase overall safety awareness by identifying risks associated with laboratory activities and providing corrective actions to ensure that we are operating in a safe environment.
The EHSO inspection team will work with Faculty members and/or the Department Head to coordinate and schedule inspections to minimize interruptions to any teaching or research activities. The Department of Plant Science is scheduled for inspection Wednesday April 24th.
