FROM THE AVP

Welcome to the UTMB Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Annual Report for FY2022. This report is an effort to communicate the most relevant parts of EHS and how our various programs, services, and collaborations work throughout the University.

I would like to highlight our dedicated EHS staff who worked tirelessly throughout the year to ensure the safety of our employees, visitors, and patients through proactive facility inspections, risk assessments, and training. EHS efforts throughout the year also help to ensure UTMB is a good steward of our environmental resources and in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations.

EHS has updated and implemented safety programs and training to support an environmentally responsible campus and encourage all at UTMB to embrace the safety culture. As always, we hope you find this information to be both interesting and useful.
