EHS Standards and Guidelines

The University of New Mexico and the Health Sciences Center expects that each member of the campus community (whether that be Students, Faculty, Staff, Contractors, Vendors, or Visitors) will follow health and safety rules, regulations, and best practices. However, instilling a strong culture of health and safety requires more than simply following rules; it requires mindful and conscientious attitudes, behaviors, and practices among University members at all levels. 

To help ease the burden on the campus community, EHS has developed a resource that combines all of the standards and guidelines onto one easily navigatable page; these are broken up by category and then alphabetically.
