Environmental and Workplace Safety A Guide for University,
Hospital, and School Managers James T. O'Reilly Philip Hagan Peter
de la Cruz Environmental and Workplace Safety is the first book to
provide health, safety, and environmental managers at health care
and educational organizations with the comprehensive and up-to-date
regulatory and compliance information needed to avoid costly
penalties and litigation. It also offers sound guidance on how
managers, with the aid of consultants and legal counsel, can
develop cost-effective safety and environmental programs to comply
with OSHA, DOT, and EPA standards. Environmental and Workplace
Safety defines the regulatory problems facing nonprofit
organizations and the types of liability their managers and
employees are exposed to--since contrary to popular belief,
nonprofits are not exempt from compliance and enforcement. Bringing
together widely scattered information, this essential resource
addresses a wide range of workplace-risk issues, and explains the
institution's liability if regulations are violated Coverage
includes:
- General building safety concerns such as indoor air, lead,
asbestos, and electrical safety
- Groundwater issues such as underground storage tanks and
industrial effluents
- Biologically hazardous waste and other laboratory hazards
- Air pollution permits required under Title V
- OSHA-mandated safety training for a facility's workers and
students
In addition, this convenient handbook alerts managers to newer
potential sources of liability, such as the accidental release of
viruses and bacteria in biotechnology experiments, injuries caused
by an institution's waste, rapes and assaults in unsafe
dormitoriesand parking lots, and community opposition to hospital
and college zoning requests. In each case, the book gives managers
cost-effective compliance solutions to these problems to prevent
the expensive litigation and negative publicity they can engender.
Finally, Environmental and Workplace Safety fosters a new
understanding of the importance of safety and environmental
professionals within their organizations, enhancing their status
and increasing their ability to obtain the resources they need to
do their jobs more effectively.
