Environmental Health and Safety

Cornell University prohibits the smoking or carrying of lighted cigars, cigarettes, or pipes in all indoor facilities, enclosed bus stops, and university-owned or controlled vehicles, except in special situations defined in this document.

Cornell University prohibits pets from university-controlled buildings, except for those animals that are specifically exempted by this policy. In addition, while on university-controlled property, animals must be attended and restrained at all times.

Cornell University may change its operating status during and surrounding periods of inclement weather.  At such times, the university has a prescribed method for evaluation and communication of these changes to university staff, faculty, and students.

Cornell University organizes, coordinates, and directs available resources toward an effective response to, and recovery from, any emergency. The effectiveness of this effort is dependent on the development of periodic review of comprehensive plans.

Cornell University expects all employees and members of the campus community to comply with environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations.
