Newsletter Articles Let your pharmacists and anyone else in your organization who handle hazardous waste pharmaceuticals know that the ban on flushing those drugs down a drain or toilet will be specifically prohibited as of August 2019. The EPA’s new final rule on the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals was published on February 22 in the Federal Register.  Hospital engineers don’t have much time on their hands these days. So much information about their facility’s operation crosses their paths on a daily basis that it’s hard to stop and think about how that information can be used to save money and make the facility safer. Frankly, unless a facility has a complex computer system that alerts personnel to the things they should be changing, a hospital engineer’s job is mainly reactive. It turns out that 2017 was a slightly safer year to be a worker in the healthcare industry. That doesn’t mean the numbers are good, but in a healing industry where injury statistics are perennially higher than any other workplace in America, any improvement is welcome.
