2 Effective environmental, health, and safety performance is an important factor in our role here at KSU. The Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) department, working cooperatively with the entire campus community strives to provide a safe and healthy environment for all faculty, staff, students, and visitors. One of our primary goals is to prevent and/or minimize injuries and illnesses through the recognition, evaluation, and control of potential hazards arising from University activities.
