The Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Office exists to help keep you and the TMCC community safe at our educational sites.
We work with all departments to ensure your health and safety needs are addressed while also meeting required federal guidelines.
EHS projects include areas of health and wellness and risk management, and we actively practice programs to ensure that we are prepared for any emergency in these areas.
