EHS Program Development and Implementation
Your resident expert and "voice" for workplace safety and compliance.
Once you are up and running, it is easy to forget the importance of keeping your safety program “alive.” We provide resources at the level you need; from on-call support and Q&A through full program implementation and management. Let us support you as you work toward your corporate goals.
Always so happy to hear when your team is involved with our tenants…puts our mind at ease! Would highly recommend you to all of the companies we work with!
Biosafety and Chemical Safety Program Implementation
Laboratory “Best Practices” customized for your science and technology.
• Ongoing support of biosafety and chemical safety programs: manuals and training programs are “living” pieces of your safety program that should grow and change at the pace that your scientific program is growing and changing. We are constantly keeping our finger on the pulse of your program and updating your safety support to reflect your needs.
• Ongoing waste stream reviews ensure cost-efficient and compliant waste segregation and management.
• Compliance with state, federal, and local regulations: systems, procedures, practices, documentation, and training to meet all requirements.
• Safe handling of hazardous materials including storage, inventory, building code limits, engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE guidance.
