The Center for Environmental Health and Safety (CEHS) was formed to coordinate all activities associated with the environmental regulatory compliance for Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

The Center is comprised of four sections:

Environmental Compliance
Laboratory and Hazardous Waste
Occupational Health and Safety
Radiological Safety

Together, these sections work on monitoring Federal and State laws, determining their effects on the University, and advising proper action. <more information>

CEHS reports to Executive Director of Administration

News	All faculty, staff and student employees who work in laboratories with chemicals must attend annual chemical safety and hazardous waste disposal training. Workshops last an hour and a half.

	September 17, 2007, Following an inspection by the Environmental Protection Agency, a notice of violation was issued to SIU on August 23, 2007. As part of our response to EPA, laboratories will be required to bring their chemical and biologic storage areas into compliance. Guidelines for compliance are listed in the powerpoint presentation entitled “Hazardous Waste Compliance”; two necessary forms, the satellite waste accumulation area checklist and the laboratory emergency response plan, are also available here. Additional documents will be added in the coming weeks to assist laboratories to comply with the law. If you have questions regarding this topic, please e-mail aruffing@cehs.siu.edu.
	On April 3, 2007, Kerry Cole, Business Manager II in the Office of the Provost and Vice Chancellor and Kristina Martens, Graduate Assistant in the Psychology Department were awarded Environmental Health & Safety Appreciation awards for their advocacy and support of environmental health & safety.
