Supporting a Safe and Healthy UNE Community

The University of New England is committed to providing a safe and healthy learning, teaching, and research environment for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Through proactive hazard identification, continuous education and training, and the provision of appropriate personal protective equipment, UNE works to promote a culture where health and safety are shared.

The Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) supports the University’s mission by developing, implementing, and maintaining comprehensive policies, programs, and procedures that apply to all University activities. These efforts are grounded in applicable federal and state regulations and reflect UNE’s commitment to responsible stewardship, accountability, and continuous improvement. Policies and procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure effectiveness, regulatory compliance, and alignment with best practices.

By working collaboratively across academic, research, and operational areas, EHS helps create an environment where teaching, learning, research, and clinical activities can thrive safely.

Together, we help maintain a safe, healthy, and productive campus community.
