Dvirka and Bartilucci Consulting Engineers (D&B) offers comprehensive multimedia environmental compliance and permitting services for small, mid-size, and large hospitals and healthcare facilities. In a fashion similar to that which D&B utilizes in support of multimedia compliance audits for the aerospace industry, oil storage and distribution facilities, chemical and petroleum marine transportation, semiconductor and microelectronics, commuter railroad operations and colleges and universities, D&B provides comprehensive multimedia compliance services to hospitals and healthcare facilities, as well as facilities permitted to transport, handle, store and dispose of medical waste.
Over the last 15 years, D&B’s multimedia compliance audit experience has grown and expanded in support of a broad spectrum of commercial and industrial sectors, including pharmaceutical, semiconductor and microelectronics, commuter/freight railroad transportation, electric and gas utilities, research facilities, and colleges and universities. Whether providing services to a multi- building facility that represents one operating unit within an entire regional hospital system, or a small, local hospital providing medical services to a municipality, multimedia environmental compliance requires a team approach.
That is where D&B can help. D&B’s multimedia environmental compliance team draws upon the expertise of several engineering disciplines and environmental experts with the necessary support staff. Each member of the multimedia team has extensive compliance experience, combined with engineering, scientific and project management qualifications in specific environmental media. In addition, certain managers and senior staff members within D&B have prior regulatory agency experience as hazardous waste, solid waste, and wastewater program compliance inspectors and permit managers.
Working together with healthcare facility staff, D&B completes a systematic review of standard operating practices and corporate policies, permit conditions, applicable regulations and operating records. In addition, D&B conducts a thorough facility inspection and reviews all waste generation and handling processes and operations. The audit team then completes a systematic determination of the status of compliance of the facility with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements, as appropriate. When needed, recommendations for corrective action ranging, for example, from procedural or programmatic changes including a new or modified standard operating procedure, to the development of a hazardous waste management plan, or the design and implementation of improved above/underground storage tank systems are presented, along with engineering cost estimates.
Whether you are an environmental manager investigating ways to lower your facility’s risk of noncompliance and protecting yourself from potential penalties or an administrator who desires to establish an environmental policy aimed at improved environmental compliance by instituting a more formal environmental audit program conducted by a third party, D&B can help. Let us find a solution that’s right for you!
