Environmental Health & Safety is excited to implement the new EHS Assistant (EHSA) system. To ensure it is a sustainable and useful tool, we are rolling it out in phases. During your phase, you will be contacted by EHS to attend an orientation and to receive access to the system. You will not be able to access the system before you attend the orientation. If you have questions, please contact EHS at EHSASupport@uab.edu.

Violation Defeciency Response

The Violation Deficiency Response allows PI and authorized personnel to respond to violations. The PI will be able to track response time, corrections made, and generate timely reports.

Please Note: The Violation Deficiency Response can be generated by the PI ONLY AFTER the inspector has sent the audit violations to the PI.
