The Safety Department has implemented a number of environmental compliance programs to comply with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements. Numerous other campus environmental protection initiatives have been on-going for many years. An EMS attempts to tie together various facets of Ohio University institutional efforts into a unified program and compliance approach to environmental protection. EHS is currently engaging the campus community in this effort.
