UVA Office of Environmental Health and Safety
Environmental Health and Safety (EHS)
Our fundamental mission is to support the research, education and patient care activities of the University through promotion of a safe and healthy environment. We achieve this by providing high quality programs, training, evaluation and consultation designed to minimize safety, health, environmental and regulatory risks to the University community.

SciShield ChemTracker Coming Soon!
UVA has selected and initiated implementation of ChemTracker, a University-wide chemical inventory management system.
We are currently in the early adopter phase and anticipate a full University implementation in early 2027. EHS will share updates with the UVA research community through email communications as the implementation progresses. For more information, see the Chemical Inventory webpage.
For questions or interest in becoming an early adopter, email [email protected]
