The establishment and maintenance of an academic environment free of occupational hazards, and compliance with environmental regulations are both ethical and legal responsibilities of the University.

In this regard, the environmental health and safety program at Texas A&M University Kingsville is managed by the Environmental Health & Safety Office. Our goals are to minimize occupational injuries to university employees, minimize personal injuries to the university community and to minimize losses and/or damage to university property.

The Environmental Health & Safety Office will strive to meet these goals through employee health and safety training, through on-site inspections, and through compliance with applicable State and Federal regulations.
