Environmental Health & Safety

The office of Environmental Health and Safety  (EH&S) oversees regulatory compliance and worker safety issues for the University. Included within those areas are employee training for workers at occupational risk, trench and hotwork permitting, ergonomic accommodations, hazardous and universal waste compliance, indoor air quality, asbestos and mold management, and safety-related inspections.

Westfield State University maintains an environment that will not adversely affect the health and safety of all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The University gives a high priority and appropriate support to programs and policies in support of eliminating hazards that are a threat to the health and safety of personnel or property. To aid in this endeavor, the University has given authority to EH&S to design, implement, and maintain a comprehensive program to ensure the health, safety, and environmental protection of the University.
