Chemical Release

If your department is involved in the handling of chemicals or hazardous materials, be aware of the WMU Hazard Communication Program. Should a spill or other incident occur, immediately call Public Safety at 387-5555 or 911 from a campus phone. During standard business hours, contact Environmental Safety and Emergency Management at 387-5590.

With the global incidences of bio-terrorism, all departments handling mail must be on alert for suspicious packages and letters as well as their contents and be familiar with WMU Process for Handling Suspicious Mail.
