The EH&S Center is located directly behind the Administrative Services building off Sullivan Drive. The Center is staffed by professionals in radiation safety, industrial hygiene, environmental affairs, and health and safety. The staff administers and implements occupational health and safety policies on campus and manages the hazardous waste collection and disposal programs. In addition, the Center includes a training room so faculty, students, and staff can receive health and safety training and employee orientation. Our mission is to provide educational, technical, and operational support to promote an environmentally safe and healthy workplace in cooperation with all employees, students, visitors, and the surrounding community.
Under North Carolina law, the Center can only handle hazardous waste generated by NC State University. Waste is stored on a temporary basis prior to shipment by contractors for disposal. The facility is constructed with fire-resistant materials, has a special sprinkler system designed to extinguish chemical fires, and contains emergency power backup.
