Environmental Health & Safety

Welcome

The College of Southern Nevada is committed to the safety, health, and well-being of all members of the College community.

Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) supports a safe learning and working environment by providing a broad range of environmental compliance and occupational health and safety services that support the overall mission of CSN. These services are designed to protect personnel, the environment, and our facilities while promoting compliance with applicable laws, regulations, codes, and standards.

EH&S also provides incident management, hazardous materials and waste management, hazard evaluation and mitigation, information and training programs, and environmental health and safety consulting and inspection services. For more information, please visit one of the safety categories below.

Request Chemical/Bio  Waste Pick-Up

Obtain EHS Restricted Commodity Approval prior to purchasing:

  • Chemicals (including commercially available household products)
  • Compressed Gases
  • Hazardous Materials

Chemicals that are being ordered for the “first time” by a department require New Chemical approval from the EHS Department. This is to ensure that Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available and that all safety and regulatory requirements are in place prior to the chemical arriving on campus. This New Chemical approval is required regardless of purchase method (i.e., P-Card, requisition, free vendor samples, etc.).

Once approval is obtained, the purchaser may use the approval for subsequent purchases of the same chemical or hazardous product.

New chemicals and restricted commodities are not to be purchased/used until Approval is obtained by EHS.
