OEH&S ERT

To ensure effective response to emergency situations the Responder will respond to campus or hospital emergency situations by initial phone consultation, followed by site visit if needed.

The OEH&S has a Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Program that provides technical assistance to chemical, radioactive, or biological emergencies. The Team members are properly trained as required by law, and have an emergency van that has all the necessary supplies and equipmsent to respond to calls on a 24 hour basis. The program is supported by approximately 20 safety professionals, and is coordinated by the Campus Fire Marshal.

The Emergency Response Team (ERT) works in tandem with city, state, and federal regulatory agencies, providing mutual aid as needed.

In case of a hazardous materials incident, call the UC Police Department
Emergency telephone number (9-911) and they in turn will page the on-call Responder.
