Healthcare

Several agencies including The Joint Commission, OSHA, DOT, and the EPA enforce regulations related to hazardous materials for the entire healthcare industry. Health services frequently rank high in OSHA’s Annual Report with respect to the most frequent HazCom Standard violators. The industry is often cited hundreds of times, adding up to thousands of dollars in fines. In addition, biological spill violations typically account for hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines levied.

Beyond regulatory compliance, the healthcare industry is known for its commitment to providing not only a healthy, but also a safe workplace. With healthcare companies under significant pressure to maintain high quality service while cutting costs, it is becoming more and more difficult for their overburdened EH&S staff to focus on maintaining a safe working environment.
