Environmental Health and Safety
The Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) at the University of Central Missouri works to provide a safe and healthy learning and working environment for UCM students, faculty, staff and visitors. EHS works closely with the campus community to ensure potential hazards are identified and eliminated. The EHS team includes full time professionals and EHS student techs. Together, we help UCM comply with all federal, state and local regulations and provide guidance regarding Environmental Health and Safety at UCM.
If you have questions or concerns regarding environmental health and safety at UCM, please notify your supervisor or UCM contact.
Emergencies
In case of an emergency, please contact Public Safety 24 hours a day / 7 days a week @ 660-543-4123. Everyone has a role in Campus Safety. If you see something, say something.
Hazardous Waste
If faculty or staff, or visitor has any questions regarding UCM’s Hazardous Waste Program, hazardous chemical spills, or how to properly dispose of chemicals, please call Public Safety and ask for the Environmental Coordinator. Let the Public Safety Dispatcher know if it’s an emergency.
Safety Data Sheets
Products and chemicals that are considered to be hazardous must have an SDS on file in the department where they will be used.
Each department at UCM is responsible for maintaining a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) file
for all chemicals within their department. At UCM, these SDSs can be stored in a
binder in the area where the chemicals are used. The binder must be maintained and
updated by that department and must be easily accessible for all employees. Also ,
each department of UCM is responsible for maintaining chemical inventory for all chemicals
within their department.
