A member of UT’s Environmental Health and Safety has been awarded a grant from Campus Safety, Health, and Environmental Management Association (CSHEMA) for working on a Positive Culture Framework (PCF).
Linda Hamilton, interim Laboratory Safety Services program leader with EHS, received the $3,000 grant to support her ongoing work with safety culture initiatives.
“This grant will help support the collaboration with the Tickle College of Engineering to map out a Positive Culture Framework (PCF), which we are hoping will be adaptable to other stakeholder groups at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville,” said EHS Director Brian Ranger.
The mission of CSHEMA is to support and to educate campus-based EHS professionals to empower and to improve the EHS profession in camps environments.
Congratulations on your hard work and your focus on keeping our campus safe!
Due to a recent increase in research activity, the UTK Environmental Health and Safety Department is opening the central accumulation area (CAA) in the Zeanah Engineering Complex (ZEC) for faculty and staff to drop off waste generated in the building. Waste, including hazardous waste, can be brought to G113A between 3:00pm and 3:45pm on August 15 and September 12 by trained individuals.
