Reporting EHS Hazards or Concerns
Immediately report all concerns to your Supervisor. "Supervisor" could
be a Manager, Principal Investigator, Faculty Member,
Chair, etc.
Here is the FORM to document the concern or hazard.
Resolving EHS Concerns
Concern is reported to Supervisor
if Generator is unable to resolve concern.
Supervisor may consult with Chair/Academic
Director, Departmental Safety Officer
or Department of Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) and Security to resolve concern.
If Supervisor is unable to resolve the concern, then the concern is referred to the Department of Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) and Security.
If the concern is of a critical nature - for example, if:
- someone is in imminent danger,
- severe damage to property is likely,
- some sort of lethal exposure is probable;
then shut it down, turn it off, close the door, leave the situation and contact your Supervisor.
The Supervisor must contact the Department of Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) and Security immediately upon notification of this type of concern. After hours, the Supervisor must contact Security.
