Service Approach
The Environmental Protection Program (EPP) utilizes a systematic
approach to manage hazardous material disposal, as well as
environmental aspects related to the products and services
of UTHSC-H. In this process we strive to raise awareness of
environmental impacts and communicate environmental issues
and standards of importance to the faculty, staff, students,
and clinicians throughout the UTHSC-H community.
We support UTHSC-H’s mission and vision of excellence
in education, research, and service in the development and
implementation of environmental management programs and systems
designed to minimize environmental risks and enhance performance
and compliance.
In order to achieve this mission, we strive to utilize cost
effective waste disposal techniques and reduce environmental
impacts whenever possible. We utilize UT-System wide contracts,
develop effective programs for specific and general operations;
and monitor program effectiveness to provide for continuous
improvement.
Our success is measured by customer feedback and our ability
to create awareness among faculty, staff, and students to
integrate environmental considerations into the research,
educational, and service mission of the University.
