in a safer direction with Steri•Safe.SMTake the next step…

Make the commitmentto reduce hazards and manage your risk.

OSHA compliance is a critical factor in the work you do. It’s not only important from

a legal standpoint, but it’s crucial to the safety and health of your employees and

your business. And proper disposal of your regulated medical waste (RMW) is just

the first step in being compliant. There’s a myriad of other regulations you need to

be aware of and address. If you don’t, it can impact your bottom line in many ways.

What do accidents cost your business?

Besides the direct costs of an accident or exposure incident—treatment

and higher workers’ compensation—you end up paying for many indirect, unin-

sured and out-of-pocket costs, including…

• Lost time from work (both injured and fellow employees)

• Overhead costs while work is disrupted

• Training costs for new/replacement workers

• Damaged morale and reputation

What are the dollars and cents?

Here’s an example: If an employee has an accident that costs you $5,000, at a 2%

profit margin, you would have to sell an additional $250,000 in products or services

to cover that loss. Just take a look at this chart to see the impact for yourself…

“Reducing workplace

injuries and illnesses

conserves critical

resources and

improves the use

of those resources.

It saves money,

avoids unnecessary

costs and ultimately

maximizes returns on

business investments.”—John Henshaw,

Assistant Secretaryof Labor, OSHA

While many healthcare facilities run a tight ship, gaps in compliance are a daily

occurrence. In fact, the average number of potential OSHA violations that a Stericycle®

Certified Occupational Safety Consultant identifies in a mock OSHA inspection is 17.

To stay compliant and protect your business, you need to be up-to-code on everything

from Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) to fire and evacuation plans to eye wash sta-

tions. And that’s where the Steri•SafeSM program from Stericycle steps in.
