Support for Hospitals / Health Care Facilities

Healthcare facilities are the target of US EPA enforcement inspections, which can result in significant fines.  ENSR's environmental compliance experts help hospitals and other health care facilities to reduce their  environmental risks and liabilities, avoid fines and penalties, and sustain effective compliance programs.

For example, an ENSR audit team worked with New York Presbyterian Hospital to implement a Compliance Audit Program for multiple hospital facilities to fulfill a Voluntary Audit Agreement with EPA. The audit team reviewed programs for: drinking water, waste water, storm water, hazardous and regulated medical wastes, solid wastes, pesticide management, community right-to-know, and petroleum and chemical bulk storage requirements.
