Safeguarding the well-being of our campus community
The Environmental Health and Safety Department (EHS) at Lower Columbia College plays
a fundamental role in safeguarding the well-being of our campus community while promoting
responsible stewardship of our environment. With a multifaceted approach, our department
oversees occupational safety by implementing comprehensive protocols, training, and
resources to minimize workplace risks. Additionally, EHS oversees environmental compliance,
ensuring that our college adheres to all relevant regulations and standards, minimizing
our ecological impact.
Beyond regulatory compliance, EHS works diligently to collaborate with other departments
on initiatives that drive resource efficiency, waste reduction, and sustainable practices
throughout campus operations. By seamlessly integrating occupational safety, environmental
compliance, and sustainability efforts, EHS strives to create a culture of shared
initiative and responsibility.
