EHS Dashboard
Key Performance Indicators
As part of its mission, EHS seeks to advance the responsible stewardship of University resources through service to the campus community. In addition, EHS strives for professionalism, efficiency and accountability for University resources.
The EHS dashboard is a tool to help measure both EHS and University performance and provide evidence that EHS is evaluating its work to determine where both EHS and the University can improve. It consists of key performance indicators in the areas of resources, compliance, university loss indicators and client service under EHS programs, including occupational and environmental health and safety, risk management and insurance, and workers compensation and return-to-work.
