Environmental Health, Safety, and Sustainability (EHSS) is excited to introduce CampusOptics. This software is a cross-functional EH&S platform designed specifically for institutions of higher education. It will consolidate and streamline safety tracking across the Campus Operations Unit.

The platform is hosted in the AWS cloud (Amazon Web Services) and can be accessed from any computer for reporting, scheduling, and data entry. When staff is on-site, they will have access to the CampusOptics mobile application to quickly reference building information and documents, locate and manage assets, verify chemical inventory, and carry out inspections.
