Newsletter Headlines Because of the final implementation this year of the Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule signed by the Environmental Protection Agency administrator, some flexibility has been added to the hazardous waste disposal process. The new rule might be able to help healthcare facilities save some money, too.  The FDA in December issued a final rule on the safety and effectiveness of active ingredients in over-the-counter healthcare antiseptic hand washes and rubs that could potentially be used in a medical setting. The final rule, which led to the ban of 24 chemicals, might not have been all that surprising. But it is still significant. Each month, Brad Keyes, CHSP, owner of Keyes Life Safety Compliance, answers your questions about life safety compliance. Our editorial advisory board also reviews the Q&A column. This month's topics include design requirements for areas for cleaning and sanitizing, fire alarms in the OR, duct smoke detectors, and more.
