The HST Difference.
-
Safety
Per OSHA 4% of time loss injuries and 37% of workplace fatality injuries in hospitals are caused by hazardous substance exposure. Hazmat training is an effective way of reducing your facilities likelihood of onsite injuries/fatalities and increasing employee welfare.
-
Cost
OSHA statistics show that the American hospital system pays out on average $22,440.00 per lost time injury claim, over $31,012,080.00 per year, on injury claims caused by hazardous substance exposure. The expense and time spent on hazmat training is more than offset by the price of lost time claims, workplace fatalities, and the associated burden and costs these events place on your workforce.
-
Compliance
Hazmat training is required by federal and often state/local law. Enforcement agencies include OSHA, EPA, DOT, state OSHA departments, local municipalities, and Joint Commission. Hazmat training greatly decreases your facilities regulatory liability and HST record keeping on behalf of your facility ensures you are never out of compliance.
