The academic institution can be viewed as a community within a community, with many environmental concerns similar to those of a municipality: private water supplies, housing, food sanitation, injury control, occupational health, radiation protection, waste control, etc. The complexity of a university environmental health and safety (EHS) program is closely related to the size of the college or university, and the type of program carried on by the institution (e.g., teaching hospital, agrigultural experiment stations, amount and variety of research programs). This paper seeks to convey information about environmental health and safety programs in colleges and universities which will be of help to environmental regulatory agencies as they interact with academic institutions. Understanding internal organizations and policy matters will make environmental regulatory agencies more effective as they interact with academic institutions. The extent of regulatory change now impacting on academic institutions is also discussed.
学术机构可以被视为一个大社区中的小社区，它有着许多与市政当局类似的环境问题：私人供水、住房、食品卫生、伤害控制、职业健康、辐射防护、废物控制等。大学环境健康与安全（EHS）项目的复杂性与学院或大学的规模以及该机构开展的项目类型密切相关（例如，教学医院、农业实验站、研究项目的数量和种类）。本文旨在传达有关高校环境健康与安全项目的信息，这将有助于环境监管机构与学术机构互动。了解内部组织和政策事项将使环境监管机构在与学术机构互动时更有效。本文还讨论了目前影响学术机构的监管变化程度。
