The EHS Department inspects stages, risers, electrical equipment, seating configurations, and crowd capacities for all large and small events held on campus.

EHS is in charge of 1st Aid and monitors crowd size/control at all large public events on campus.  This includes all sporting events, commencements, concerts, speeches, and any other events as requested.

It's a long way down
The 1st Aid Crew is practicing rescue techniques with a specially-designed chair before a football game.  This requires a 3-person team: 1 to lift the back, 1 to lift the front, and 1 to guide the person in front as he backs down the steps.

Going over the game plan
There is a coordination meeting for all EHS staff before each event.

Stationed at various points all over the stadium, EHS 1st Aid Responders (certified in first aid and CPR) are ready to provide assistance to anyone in need. Even in the "nosebleed section"
