Safety at Scripps

Scripps Institution of Oceanography operates its Environmental, Health and Safety program in conjunction with UC San Diego's EH&S division, which manages a coordinated safety program for the entire UC San Diego campus. EH&S at Scripps is a responsibility shared by everyone: students, volunteers, faculty, and staff.

The Scripps EH&S Office is committed to promoting awareness, providing effective consultation, and ensuring compliance to cultivate a safe working and research environment for all.
