Environment/Equality - Health - Safety/Sustainability Group
The EHS group is a preparatory and advisory body that handles matters regarding physical and psycho-social work environment, equality and equal treatment, health and safety, and sustainability at Umeå Institute of Design.
For each of these areas, there are sub-groups handling the specific areas of equal access and work environment and that meet and carry out operative work on a regular basis.
The work at Umeå Institute of Design with issues of work environment and equal opportunities follow the rules, policies and guidelines set centrally by Umeå University for both staff and students.
