Forms requiring signature of EH&S

Certificate of Environmental Compliance
Facility Safety Director/Manager Assurance

A faculty member receiving funding from the DOD must submit a Certificate of Environmental Compliance (CEC) and Assurance form to USAMRMC. To have these signed by EH&S, submit the forms (with Project Title and PI's name inserted), along with the project proposal to esegal@stanford.edu. Upon review, the PI will be contacted with any outstanding issues; once these are resolved, the form will be completed by EH&S and returned to the faculty member.

Allow for 5 working days for sign-off of forms.
