Environmental Health & Safety
From labs to classrooms, the Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) office provides the guidance, training, and resources needed to keep every corner of campus safe — for students, faculty, and staff alike.
Our Commitment to Campus Safety
At Austin Peay, everyone deserves a safe place to learn, work, and grow. EH&S supports that by maintaining a campus environment that reduces the risk of injury and illness, protecting the natural environment, and providing clear, accessible resources and training.
Safety isn't just about policies — it's about people. It's about looking out for yourself and for each other.
To put that commitment into action, EH&S:
-
Meets and maintains all federal, state, and local safety and environmental requirements
-
Identifies and corrects unsafe conditions and practices
-
Reduces hazards and prevents pollution
-
Provides training tailored to specific job responsibilities
-
Encourages open communication about safety concerns
Your Role in Campus Safety
Creating a safe campus is a shared responsibility. Students and employees are expected to follow safety guidelines, speak up about unsafe conditions, participate in required training, and support campus environmental and safety initiatives.
Every action matters. When you make safe choices, you protect yourself, your coworkers, your classmates, and our entire campus community.
