Environmental Health & Safety/Risk Management (EHSRM)
The Oakland Community College Environmental Health and Safety/Risk Management (EHSRM) Department assists the college community; including students, faculty, staff, contractors, and visitors, in maintaining safe and healthy campuses, and to minimize our impact on the environment. Programs have been developed to provide uniform guidance to OCC employees, and to assist in meeting the many regulatory obligations that OCC is subject to. These programs deal with environmental, health, safety, transportation, and training issues that impact the college's operations.

Safety Data Sheet InformationSafety Data Sheets (SDSs) offer information from manufacturers on hazards, emergency procedures, storage, and safe handling practices for hazardous chemicals. SDSs are required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) for all hazardous chemicals present on OCC campuses. To enhance chemical safety and awareness at OCC and assist in the College's continuing compliance efforts, OCC partners with Data Sheet Solutions (DSS) to provide ready access to Safety Data Sheets for hazardous chemicals present at the College. The database is designed to allow anyone, including students, employees, or contractors, to access SDSs for products they may encounter. Once in the database, you can find specific SDSs using a versatile keyword search function. SDSs can be downloaded and printed as well. You can access OCC's SDS database at the link below. OCC's Safety Data Sheet Database If you have any questions about the SDS database or the SDSs it contains, please contact Lauren Williams lewillia@oaklandcc.edu or Michael Schmidt maschmid@oaklandcc.edu. |
