KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT BORDERS
EH&S staff act locally and think globally.
We assist our sister institutions and local and regional response agencies with projects, planning and participation. We share and gain knowledge by active engagement with peers across the world.
Close to home, EH&S reduces potential asbestos exposure for children and staff by providing project management oversight, exposure monitoring and AHERA 3-year inspections at the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School in Vinton and the Iowa School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs. Utilizing EH&S' services at State of Iowa Board of Regent's Institutions is efficient and cost effective.
Regionally, EH&S supported the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department, Radiological Emergency Response Team by participating in ten radiological emergency response drills and exercises at nuclear power plants in Iowa and Nebraska. We attended five off site utility meetings and hosted state wide annual radiation safety training for 39 participants.
Globally, EH&S staff attends or presents at professional conferences from coast to coast and border to border, and participates in 20 different professional safety organizations. Knowledge transfer ensures we are able to provide expertise to not only ISU, but to our neighbors, clients, and peers, no matter the location.
