Committee on Facilities, Public Oversight Roundtable, Janesse Lewis George, Chairperson: Video Link
At DGS, we prioritize health and safety with our partners at the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR). Led by our Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) team, we work with industry experts to implement policies that reduce risk and evolve with emerging science to keep families safe and informed. During the Environmental and Safety Hazards on DPR Properties, we shared how our efforts in 2019 to identify and mitigate environmental hazards have paved the way for continuous remediation and safety measures across the District into 2025 and beyond.
