NEWTON, MA (PRWEB) April 24, 2006



EH&E, a leading provider of health and safety and engineering consulting services, has introduced an environmental health and safety compliance support site specifically designed for companies containing laboratory space. The site helps reduce risk through better compliance management and direct access to industry experts.



The affordable knowledge-based solution, “eH&E–LabSupport," enables companies to successfully manage the complex environmental health and safety (EH&S) compliance programs, involving federal, state, and local regulations, without a large safety staff.



“When laboratories are a part of a company’s operations, the environmental health and safety program requirements are necessarily complex, and come from a variety of governing sources. Large firms often employ full-time professional staff to manage the program and its requirements. Small and mid-size firms face the same regulatory requirements, but cannot afford the dedicated staff,” said Jack McCarthy, President and co-founder of EH&E.



EH&E–LabSupport provides much of EH&E’s compliance expertise to these smaller organizations through a web-based portal, and in a very affordable way. The solution provides a complete outline of a comprehensive compliance management program, and includes tools, databases and document templates to facilitate easy program development and maintenance. Lab-focused web training programs are available to minimize classroom training requirements. And eH&E–LabSupport additionally provides direct access to EH&E’s experienced team of EH&S professionals and engineers.



A free whitepaper detailing the solution, Environmental Health and Safety Compliance in Laboratory Operations: Common Deficiencies Encountered During Audits, is available for download from: http://www. eheinc. com/labaudit. htm (http://www. eheinc. com/labaudit. htm)



For Masha Ushomirsky, Safety Officer for Peptimmune, a biotech company in Cambridge, Massachusetts, eH&E–LabSupport acts as a virtual assistant.



“The eH&E–LabSupport site is a perfect blend of support functions for my health and safety compliance program,” Ushomirsky said. “It provides a single, easy to use interface for my entire program that is accessible to the company. It is also completely customizable and not rigid like other software programs. I can adapt the templates, data displays and tools to fit my company’s very specialized needs. And perhaps the most valuable aspect to me is the peer support I receive from EH&E. It’s just great to be able to get all my questions answered, no matter how technical, by a single source.”



Microsoft-based, Web-enabled



EH&E–LabSupport is built upon Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint®, a powerful web-based project collaboration tool, thus allowing users to easily customize and integrate the eH&E–LabSupport application with all their Microsoft Office products, including Outlook.



EH&E–Biotech Features:



  Document templates for virtually all required documentation, including a Chemical Hygiene Plan, Emergency Action Plan, Biosafety Manual, EH&S Policies Manual and Lockout/Tagout Program and Procedures.  Over 15 databases that can be easily customized, including Chemical Inventory (with 5,000 chemical library), Permit Tracking, Fume Hood and Biosafety Cabinet certifications, Hazardous Waste Manifest Tracking, and Employee Safety Training.  Compliance Calendar pre-populated with a customizable compliance plan.  Auto-notification via email of upcoming deadlines such as permit expirations, and refresher training.  Access via email or phone to expert advice on a wide variety of compliance and health and safety issues.
