Office of Environmental Health and Safety

Our Mission is to provide a safe and healthy environment for students, faculty and staff, as well as to all other visitors to our campus. This is done through rigorous and consistently applied programs that anticipate, identify, evaluate, and control hazards that are an inherent part of maintaining our facility.  We strive to help individuals and departments achieve compliance with all local, state and federal regulations, as well as any applicable Providence College policies and procedures.  We act as liaison with external regulatory agencies, and we monitor Providence College compliance through audit, program development, education, and consultation.  We continuously strive to improve our services by incorporating team approaches to problem solving, and actively seeking input from college employees and departments.

PC Green M​​ap

In the past few years the college has made an effort to make the campus more environmentally sustainable and because of that there have been many “green” additions to the campus. Below is a link to a map that shows these additions, such as bioswales and hydration stations. The map is also meant to be a guide to those who have trouble finding recycling bins, including the location of recycling bins in residence halls and outdoors. Once in the map you are able to choose what you look at, the map will at first show all the hydrations stations, bioswales, and recycling bin locations but you only need to look at the left side column and click off the layers that you do not wish to see.
