Subject: 2024 Lab Safety Inspection

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.

We thank you for your cooperation, you may find a copy of the self-inspection checklist can be found here.
