Why Kinahan Associates
Did You Know?
- The person(s) in your company signing manifests relating to chemical or biological waste pick-up requires specific training
- Some VC's want to see the right policies in place, especially a Purchasing Policy that outlines the level of approval based on the dollar amount being ordered
- If OSHA conducts safety inspections within your facility and you do not have the right documentation in place - including employee training and best practices - it could cost you thousands of dollars in penalty fees
- If working with bloodborne pathogens, HEP B vaccines must be offered to employees at no cost
- If moving specific laboratory equipment from one location to another (even within your facility) may void its warranty
