Optional Fields
MSU Occupational Health provides medical assessment, monitoring, intervention, and evaluation to MSU employees related to their occupational risks. The office shares responsibility for the health and safety of the MSU community with the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) .A long-term EHS goal is to divide campus into ""neighborhoods,"" each with designated EHS staff assigned. EHS already sees the benefits of dedicated safety staff assigned to Veterinary Medical Center, Cyclotron/FRIB, Radiology, Grand Rapids Research Center, IACMI, IPF, and RHS. A full-time, comprehensive, hands-on safety approach, facilitiating communications between EHS and campus units, is the most effective strategy to foster a culture of safety at Michigan State University.Additional Specialized Safety Coverage
EHS's animal handler safety officer handles occupational safety and compliance (campus-wide) for employees handling animals
Infrastructure Planning and Facilities has designated safety resources for IPF employees campus-wide
Residential and Hospitality Services has designated safety resources for RHS employees campus-wide. A new training compliance system supports learning that reduces risks to health, safety, security, and legal liability as well as encouraging best practices in research, operations, and outreach.The new Learning Management System: Ability training system has replaced Saba effective Dec. 3, 2018.
