OSEH Policies/Plans
The University of Michigan is committed to promoting a healthy, safe, and environmentally sound campus for all faculty, staff, students, and visitors. This is reflected in day-to-day operations, management, and conduct of research. Office policies are designed to guide how we operate as a department, promote consistency among the program areas, and answer some difficult questions. If you have questions on any of these, ask your manager/coordinator or the Executive Director.
U-M EHS SPGs
Four Standard Practice Guides have direct applicability to this commitment.
- [SPG 605.1] Occupational Safety and Environmental Policy provides the basis for the operation of OSEH and directly lays out the responsibility of the campus community.
- [SPG 605.02] Occupational Safety and Environmental Health Procedure provides the basis for the day-to-day operations of the OSEH department.
- [SPG 303.3] Research Policy Statement on the Integrity of Scholarship and Procedures for Investigating Allegations of Misconduct in the Pursuit of Scholarship and Research directly establishes the link between research integrity and the need to meet all regulations of federal, state, local, and University agencies.
- [SPG 601.24] Delegation of Authority to Bind the University to External Agreements on Business and Financial Matters. The OSEH Department has been delegated the authority for signing documents related to inquiries on operations or federal, state, and local compliance matters concerning: occupational and community health and safety, environmental activities, public health issues, and use of radioactive materials or equipment capable of producing radiation. This also includes commitments to EHS programs for governmental or corporate research grants.
