The Environmental Compliance and Occupational Safety (ECOS) programs aim to address a wide range of areas that are essential to take into consideration when working toward ensuring the safety of Northeastern’s community and preserving the environment from potentially hazardous waste.
ECOS monitors environmental performance on campus, assures protective waste handling systems, and seeks innovations to improve them.
ECOS supports the oversight of occupational safety and health programs at the University to remain in compliance with federal and state regulations and guidelines.
The Office of Academic and Research Safety (OARS) is primarily responsible for laboratory safety, both research and academic, including oversight and training related to the University’s chemical, biological, and radiation safety programs.
