As part of the Risk Management team, Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) provides guidance and assistance to our community on all campuses to ensure a safe and healthful environment for employees, students, and guests.
As a state agency, safety initiatives at UW Stevens Point are guided by the Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter SPS 332. This law, by reference, incorporates the standards and regulations set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
