MIT is now implementing an Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) Management System to serve as a model for large academic research institutions. The EHS-MS development and implementation project involves members of MIT's academy, staff, and administration at multiple levels. MIT's students, staff, and faculty will be audited in Spring 2006 to determine the level of compliance throughout the Institute.
This course will prepare MIT students, staff, and faculty for the third-party audit of MIT's system scheduled for the spring of 2006 by describing the salient aspects on which the auditors will likely focus: training, inspections, responsibilities, and proper procedures.
Come learn what you will need to know in order to satisfy the auditors!
