White Paper Details Environmental Health & Safety Compliance Strategies for Laboratories

NEEDHAM, MASS. – February 28, 2008 – A free white paper that details three specific strategies to improve laboratory environmental health and safety (EH&S) compliance programs is now available for download at http://www.eheinc.com/labprogram.htm.

“Small and midsized companies and institutions with laboratories must manage complex environmental health and safety compliance programs, involving federal, state, and local regulations with limited resources,” said Jack McCarthy, President and co-founder of EH&E, a Needham, Mass.-based environmental services consulting firm.

In the white paper, titled “Three Proven Strategies for Upgrading Your Laboratory Environmental Health & Safety Program,” EH&E experts outline the strategies they have developed to maximize the effectiveness and the efficiency of these programs.

“Due to the complexity and ever-changing nature of research activities, laboratory EH&S programs can be extremely challenging to develop and maintain, yet are critical to the success of the company or institution they serve,” McCarthy said.

The white paper will demonstrate how laboratory managers, laboratory technicians, and EH&S directors can:

  • Improve EH&S program organization and accessibility
  • Expand the laboratory inspection program
  • Take a blended approach to laboratory safety training

New White Paper Details Six Steps to Investigate and Prevent Laboratory Accidents

NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS – October 9, 2007 – A new, free white paper, titled “A ‘Six Step’ Process to Investigate and Prevent Laboratory Accidents,” is now available for download at: www.eheinc.com/labaccidents.htm.

Laboratories are potentially dangerous work environments, and often contain a wide variety of toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive compounds. Accident prevention is imperative for any proactive health and safety program and accidents themselves, while unfortunate, present an opportunity to improve the performance of the laboratory safety program.

This white paper details the six key components of an accident investigation and mitigation program that are necessary to provide improvements in the overall safety program and prevent future accidents. The steps the white paper discusses include:

  • Notification and Response
  • Site Investigation and Interviews
  • Root Cause Analysis
  • Report of Findings and Review
  • Implement Corrective Measures
  • Monitoring

The author, Kevin Coghlan, M.S., C.I.H., Director of EH&S, Compliance & Strategic Support at EH&E, a Newton, Mass. based environmental engineering and consulting firm, has over 18 years of experience in assessing, evaluating, characterizing, and solving environmental problems in laboratories.

This white paper will be applicable to all those that work in laboratories, including managers, technicians, laboratory safety directors, and environmental health and safety officers.

EH&E to Feature Lab Compliance Solutions at American Industrial Hygiene Conference & Expo in Philadelphia

NEWTON, MASS. – May 29, 2007 – EH&E, a full service environmental engineering and consulting firm, will feature their laboratory safety and regulatory compliance solutions at the American Industrial Hygiene Conference & Expo (AIHce), June 4-7, 2007 in booth #1129.

EH&E’s web-based compliance solutions enable any company or institution with a laboratory to manage stringent and complex EH&S regulations, including those imposed by OSHA and The Joint Commission (JCAHO).

Since the solutions are customizable, the institution’s existing systems and processes for record keeping, data storage, permits, and employee training can be integrated easily, avoiding costly programming. Once in place, authorized Safety Committee members can access the site from any web-enabled computer to update or review EH&S information.

Customized by market, the EH&E compliance solutions are available for laboratory facilities in healthcare (eH&E-Healthcare), higher education (eH&E-Campus), biotechnology (eH&E-Biotech), as well as other research labs (eH&E-LabSupport).

Each solution provides direct support from EH&E experts through the site content, including templates, tools, expert advice, and organizational structure, helping to ensure facility compliance with today’s regulations. For EH&E client Masha Ushomirsky, Safety Officer at Peptimmune, that is the key.

“Beyond the value of the compliance portal is the ability to discuss industry issues with EH&E’s own environmental health and safety experts. They are people who understand and have the expertise to assist me with any issue that may come up. Between the software and health and safety resources, EH&E’s compliance solution has paid for itself in full,” Ushomirsky said.

The AIHce, to be held at the Pennsylvania Conference Center in Philadelphia, will include keynote addresses, technical programs and an exhibit hall featuring the latest safety, occupational health and environmental management products and services.

For more information on EH&E and their laboratory safety and regulatory compliance solutions, visit EH&E in booth #1129 at the AIHce, June 4-7, 2007. Or, visit them online at www.eheinc.com or by phone: 800-825-5343.

Free Webinar Explores New Concept in Environmental Health & Safety Program Support for Laboratories

Netwon, Mass. — April 13, 2007 — The details of a new concept in environmental health & safety (EH&S) program support for laboratories will be detailed in a free online webinar on April 24th from 1 to 2 p.m. ET.

EH&S compliance programs for any company or institution with laboratories are increasingly complex and challenging to maintain. Yet employee safety and avoiding substantial fines for non-compliance relies upon the completeness and effectiveness of the program.

A new web-based compliance support system, however, can help. That new solution will be detailed during the April 24th webinar by Maureen Oliver, Biosafety and Radiation Safety Officer at several large research institutions, and staff scientist at Environmental Health & Engineering, Inc. (EH&E).

Oliver will show how the new system can streamline the programs of large institutions and bring specialized knowledge and tools to smaller companies. Using practical examples from several EH&S programs, Oliver will demonstrate how usage of the system enables managers to:

  • Allow 24/7 single point access to the entire EH&S program (documents and data).
  • Gain access to customizable templates for all key program documents and databases.
  • Automatically assign and track compliance-required tasks (compliance calendars).
  • Access expert peer support across all program areas.
  • Allow team participation in collecting required information, keeping the program current.
  • Minimize program disruptions during personnel changes.
  • Reduce EH&S staff training time.

The free webinar, “A New Concept in Environmental Health & Safety Program Support for Laboratories,” will be of particular interest to EH&S managers, lab managers, chemical hygiene officers, environmental managers, or anyone responsible for maintaining EH&S compliance at their company or institution.

To register, go to: https://www.eheinc.com/news_workshop_register/labsupport.htm.

The webinar is sponsored by EH&E, a leading provider of biosafety, laboratory safety, and radiation safety consulting services for various clients in the biomedical research and biotechnology industry.
