To ensure that the health and safety of the university community, visitors and the contractors are protected and fulfill regulatory requirements, Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) has created a to help guide employees who plan for and oversee work performed by contractors.

This guide applies to contracts with service providers that do not provide construction services. Examples of non-construction service providers include: 

• technicians and trades who repair and maintain equipment or systems 
• on-site professional consultation
• training or inspection
• moving and transportation
• vendors
