Campus EPA Audit Scheduled for March

The Risk Management/Environmental Safety and Health And Safety (RM/EHS) office announced that West Georgia will be the first of three universities in the state to conduct a voluntary self audit in compliance of the “College and University Compliance Initiative.” 

The initiative between the Board of Regents and the US Environmental Protection Agency allows UWG facilities and operations to be voluntarily audited and violations disclosed to the EPA.  In return, the EPA has agreed to substantially reduce or waive the fines and penalties that would normally be assessed.  MORE
