Secure Environments

Environmental Health and Safety

The Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) provides guidance and direction to students, faculty, and staff at the University. EH&S identifies hazards and risks, recommends appropriate action to ensure safe conditions, and assists the University in maintaining regulatory compliance. The department provides training on many topics related to fire safety, safety, occupational health, and the environment. EH&S collaborates with the Pitt police in the development of the University’s Emergency Response Plan.

EH&S coordinates, conducts, and evaluates emergency evacuation exercises in each residence hall every semester. EH&S also prepares, upon request, individual emergency evacuation plans for students who have impairments that may prevent compliance with University-wide emergency plans.
