Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) assists the university community in providing and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for students, faculty, staff, contractors and visitors. EHS also works to protect the local community and environment from potential hazards on campus and instills safety, health and environmental stewardship in the work they perform. The office is responsible for facilitating health and safety compliance at all Ohio State campuses, extension offices, hospital complexes and ambulatory facilities throughout the state of Ohio.
The majority of EHS activities are conducted on a calendar year basis to conform with regulatory reporting requirements. View the EHS annual report executive summary.
