The Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) Department supports the mission of PCC by promoting health, safety and environmental protection throughout the District with the objective of maintaining a safe learning and working environment. EH&S provides leadership in developing and supporting policies, procedures, programs and training opportunities in support of the protection of life, property, and the environment. Programs include disciplines such as: environmental management (soil, water), hazardous material and waste, environmental health, chemical hygiene, biohazard safety, construction and occupational health and safety.
What’s Happening in EH&S
Join EH&S in celebrating National Safety Month! We have put together multiple engagement activities and resources that focus on preventing slips, trips, and falls, PCC’s primary incident cause. Find out more in our Passbook to Safety – Steps Towards a Safer College Community.
Most slip, trip & fall injuries are preventable and can be avoided by knowing more about the “4 Fs” – Fitness, Focus, Footwear and Phenomena. Being knowledgeable of these four factors can help you navigate across any walking surface with a greater degree of confidence and awareness of potential hazards.
