For more information, please visit one of the safety categories below. Submit EH&S Report or Request Report a Safety Concern or Near Miss Report an Injury or Incident Request Chemical/Bio Waste Pick-Up Request New Chemical and EHS Restricted Commodity Acquisition Approval Proactive report all safety concerns, unsafe conditions, and near-accidents to EH&S.Report a Safety Concern or Near Miss All injuries, illnesses, or exposures that happen to employees, students, contractors, and visitors on CSN premises should be reported to EH&S.Report an Injury or Incident If you have hazardous or regulated waste that needs to be collected for proper disposal, please complete the form below. Hazardous Waste includes: Biohazardous/ Medical Waste, Hazardous Waste (ignitable, reactive, toxic, corrosive), Regulated Non-Hazardous Waste, Universal Waste (batteries, pesticides, mercury containing devices, lamps).Request Chemical/Bio Waste Pick-Up Obtain EHS Restricted Commodity Approval prior to purchasing:Chemicals (including commercially available household products)Compressed GasesHazardous MaterialsChemicals that are being ordered for the “first time” by a department require New Chemical approval from the EHS Department. This is to ensure that Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available and that all safety and regulatory requirements are in place prior to the chemical arriving on campus. This New Chemical approval is required regardless of purchase method (i.e., P-Card, requisition, free vendor samples, etc.).Once approval is obtained, the purchaser may use the approval for subsequent purchases of the same chemical or hazardous product.New chemicals and restricted commodities are not to be purchased/used until Approval is obtained by EHS.Request EHS New Chemical and Restricted Commodity Approval Submit EH&S Report or Request Report a Safety Concern or Near Miss Proactive report all safety concerns, unsafe conditions, and near-accidents to EH&S.Report a Safety Concern or Near Miss Report an Injury or Incident All injuries, illnesses, or exposures that happen to employees, students, contractors, and visitors on CSN premises should be reported to EH&S.Report an Injury or Incident Request Chemical/Bio Waste Pick-Up If you have hazardous or regulated waste that needs to be collected for proper disposal, please complete the form below.
