Occupational Safety & Health - Code Services / Plan Review

The Occupational Safety & Health unit of Code Services provides technical assistance in the identification and abatement of hazardous materials in existing structures as part of project planning and design. Common hazards anticipated may include asbestos, lead-based paint, mold, mercury containing equipment, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Code Services periodically revise the campus Design Criteria and Facilities Standards to ensure planned building designs fulfill University ES&H objectives and code requirements.
