Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Safety Culture

The department's safety culture requires everyone's particpation, and is accomplished through a partnership that involves EHS, our own safety staff, a Safety Committee of faculty and staff, the Joint Safety Team involving students and staff, and a network of laboratory safety officers.  A collaboration with Dow Chemical helps us implement the industry's best practices.  Lab coats and eye protection are required in the labs at all times, and compliance is extremely high.
