Environmental Compliance

Protecting our campus environment is an important part of creating a healthy and sustainable community at Providence College. The Office of Environmental Health & Safety works with departments across campus to responsibly manage materials, protect our natural resources, and meet applicable environmental requirements.

Our environmental programs include:

• Hazardous & Universal Waste – Safe handling, storage, and disposal of regulated materials and waste.
  
• Waste Disposal Guidance – Helping the campus community determine how to properly manage and dispose of waste.
  
• Air Quality Programs – Supporting compliance with requirements that help protect air quality.
  
• Water & Stormwater Compliance – Managing programs that help protect campus waterways and reduce stormwater impacts.
  
• Spill Prevention & Response – Preparing for and responding to spills to minimize potential impacts to people and the environment.
  
• Environmental Reporting – Maintaining required records and reports associated with the College’s environmental programs.
  
• Sustainability Initiatives – Partnering with the campus community to advance environmental stewardship and sustainability.

Our goal is to protect the campus environment today while helping build a more sustainable Providence College for the future.
