EH&E Offers Free Webinar on Environmental Health and Safety Program Support for Laboratories

Newton, MA (PRWEB) August 21, 2006 — EH&E, a leading provider of health & safety and engineering consulting services, will sponsor a free webinar entitled, “A New Concept in Environmental Health and Safety Program Support for Laboratories.” Speakers for this event include the EH&S managers at the Harvard Institutes of Medicine and Partners Research Building in Massachusetts. The webinar will be held on August 24, 2006, 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. EST.

Environmental Health and Safety (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. The speakers will discuss the challenges they face in maintaining program compliance and will introduce a software solution for EH&S support that has helped them meet these challenges without increasing staff levels.

Issues discussed during this event will include:

•    How these managers have coped with training needs and requirements.
•    How regular laboratory audits can help teach as well as protect employees.
•    Various ways to increase the involvement of employees in the EH&S program.
•    How they handle required program data management (chemical inventory, MSDS).
•    Strategies for maintaining program continuity during personnel changes.
•    How to maintain certifications for your engineering controls to ensure that they are working properly (fume hoods, biosafety cabinets).
