Hazardous Materials
Overview
EHS is responsible for administering and monitoring the hazardous materials program efforts at the University of Kansas - Lawrence Campus.
Our goal is to prevent and/or minimize environmental/safety hazards and risk associated with campus activities utilizing hazardous materials.
