Introducing EHSA: Enhancing Environmental Health & Safety at UAB
The Environmental Health & Safety team at UAB has launched a new software solution designed to enhance safety, compliance, and efficiency across campus. The Environmental Health & Safety Assistant (EHSA) system provides a centralized portal for research safety management, allowing faculty and staff to access safety information and complete tasks efficiently.
EH&S launches annual emergency evacuation course
The Environmental Health & Safety team will roll out this year’s online emergency evacuation course this month. UAB is required to provide this training by both OSHA and fire codes, and it replaces the in-person training the department used to conduct. Students will receive a notification in Canvas indicating that they have been assigned the course. Employees will need to either recertify or take the course through the Campus Learning System. It’s important to complete the course in a timely manner.

UAB Facilities and UAB Financial Affairs partnered in 2019 to pilot a new online ordering process via BuyUAB for Airgas orders. The pilot was successful and in August 2020 a phased implementation began to transition all campus Airgas orders to the new online ordering process. This online ordering method enables UAB to better track total spend, monitor returns of rented equipment, and more effectively estimate budgets. Effective Oct. 1, all orders must be placed online via the BuyUAB Airgas catalog.
