waste off campus
Net increase in waste
disposed, by category
Increase 7% for hazardous waste
amount disposed, increase 60%
for medical waste disposed,
decrease 55% for e waste
disposed, as compared to
previous FY (electronic waste

inspections of labs,
studios and other
facilities to comply
with regulations
N/A: Amount and
frequency of lab
inspections not previously
quantified, all inspections
done on ad hoc basis
Lab inspections performed on
Set and follow targeted Continuing
systematic basis, over breaks (30 goals for amount and
labs inspected each semester
frequency of lab
inspections , and set a
score(ex., set goal of
inspecting 30
labs/month, and attempt
to complete this goal for
a perfect score)
Training of QCC
faculty and staff in
safety health and
environmental topics,
per regulations
Perform training for
personnel depending on
need; goal of 100% staff

Target Outcome
Plan
Continue to provide
regular and as needed
EHS training, to QCC
faculty students and staff
Aggregate number of staff
trained, per topic
100% attendance for training , per
training topic
Identify areas where training
is required;
Reach out to applicable
departments and stress the
importance of training;
explore alternative training
techniques (self training,
computerized training
modules, etc); *NOTE*
(CUNY just recently retained
a contract with a vendor that
can provide online EHS
training,; will be
implemented in FY11-12;
Improve quality of training Positive response by training At least 80% satisfaction rate from
provided by department
attendees
training attendees
Feedback questionnaire and
survey to be provided at end
of each training class
(already implemented
Health and safety
Perform inspections of all
inspections of labs, studios QCC labs each month
and other facilities to
comply with regulations
Allocate more time to lab
inspections; explore use of
technology to streamline task
(ex., new computerized
software with lab inspection
applications)
