FOUR UNITS. ONE GOAL.
EHS is made up of four units, each concentrating on a different area of safety: Environmental, Lab, Fire and Life. To be on the University of Alabama campus is to be in an area that one or more of these units has evaluated to ensure that the highest level of safety and wellness extends to all.
