"Over the years, our ES&H programs have achieved excellent results. This is because they are an integral part of our culture — embodied in everything that we do. Our Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) provides a clear framework for incorporating safety and environmental considerations into the management and performance of all Laboratory work activities. It strongly reinforces our policy that the responsibility for environment, safety and health resides with each individual and every line manager."

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Environment Health and Safety Management System

Ensuring A Safe Environment for Patients and Caregivers

"UVAHS structures ensure that nurses are working and caring for patients in a safe practice environment. Many of the activities to assure a safe and secure environment of care for patients also support a safe environment for our staff. The link between safe, competent practice, high-quality patient outcomes and a healthy productive work environment is well-established in the healthcare and business literature."
