Introduction to Safety
The purpose of The Henry Samueli School of Engineering (HSSOE) Safety page is to provide thorough information, procedures, and links that specifically relate to safety issues regarding the School. For example, this site includes HSSOE Emergency Preparedness, faculty and staff phone numbers, and safety resources. This page also introduces the UCI EH&S [http://www.ehs.uci.edu/] website where general health and safety related policies and procedures are maintained. Finally, this site provides an opportunity for all the departments and programs within HSSOE to access consistent health and safety information relevant to the School.
