Mission Statement
By supporting the College of DuPage teaching, research, and service missions, the Environmental Health and Safety Department assists organizational units in meeting their responsibility to protect the environment and to provide a safe and healthful place of employment and learning.
About the Safer Choice Program
Finding products that are safer for students, staff, and the environment should be easy – that’s why EPA created the Safer Choice label. When you see a product with the Safer Choice label, it means that every ingredient in the product has been evaluated by EPA scientists. EPA’s Safer Choice program helps school purchasers and consumers identify cleaning and other products that contain ingredients that are safer for people and the environment.
