How Not To Fail Your EHS Management System Audit!
James T. Curtis, P.E., LSP
Tue Jan 24, 12:30-01:30pm, 1-135
Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 35 participants.
Single session event
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!

Sustainable Futures: Preventing Pollution at MIT

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Waste not, want not. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Buzzword or adage, is it relevant to MIT? Yes!
As part of its Environment, Health, and Safety Management System (EHS-MS), MIT is implementing a Pollution Prevention (P2) Program. P2 looks at the processes that generate waste, and identifies opportunities to reduce EHS impacts upstream to minimize hazards downstream. Hear about MIT's proposed framework, and your role in the P2 program.
Green Chemistry is P2 at the chemical level. MIT is exploring green chemistry for strategic hazardous waste management and an opportunity to demonstrate environmental stewardship. Learn about MIT's green chemistry resources; chemical alternatives; and an electronic tool under development to encourage more benign chemical purchasing.
