The Environmental Health and Safety office (EHS) develops and implements programs to ensure RISD’s compliance with environmental, health and safety regulations, and to meet our goal to be a world-class leader on environmental health and safety issues in the arts. To achieve this goal, RISD programs and facilities must be models for environmental stewardship.
RISD administration supports, and all at RISD should embrace, the concept of protecting our environment and ensuring safe working conditions.
