Safety, Health, Environment, and Risk Management
Safety, Health, Environment & Risk Management’s (SHERM) mission is to work in conjunction with the UTHealth community to ensure that education, research, and health care service activities take place in conditions that are optimally safe and healthy for all students, faculty, staff, visitors, surrounding community and the general public.
Put simply, we exist to help people go home as healthy and safe as they arrived.
Our main office is located at the Operations Center Building (OCB 1.330) and we can be reached at 713.500.8100 or Fax 713.500.8111.
SHERM is pleased to announce a brand new Safety Video. This is our new Safety Orientation Video that will be viewed by all new employee's during orientation. In this video we take a comprehensive look at all the potential hazards that we have on our campus, where to find safety information, and what to do in case of a fire. If it's been awhile since you've been to orientation take a look at our updated video, Dr. Emery actually blinks his eyes this time.
The UTHealth Chemical Safety Committee has instituted a new annual basic laboratory safety training requirement for all individuals working in laboratories. This training will provide a brief refresher on the critical elements of laboratory safety and also fulfill the annual bloodborne pathogens training requirement. Principal investigators and laboratory personnel working in or overseeing a laboratory are required to complete this convenient on-line training. Principal Investigators will be responsible for verifying that all laboratory personnel have completed the training as required by the UTHealth Chemical Safety Committee. Environmental Health and Safety will be verifying the training is complete during the lab’s annual laboratory safety survey.
We appreciate your continued participation in maintaining a safe working environment. Please contact the Office of Environmental Health and Safety for any questions at 713-500-8100
