However pressing the need to achieve cost savings, healthcare facilities have to safeguard the highest standards of patient care, as well as the safety of staff and visitors. The medical and life sciences sector can strike this balance through more effective management of multiple waste streams and their water systems.
Your premises generates multiple waste streams, which must be managed efficiently to allow smooth operation of your services. When safety and compliance with regulations are paramount, it is all too easy to waste opportunities to improve storage and collection, boost recycling and recover value from materials.
Hosting visitors, guests and students also brings with it heavy responsibility for managing a variety of risks to safety and health, including waterborne infections. Understanding and satisfying all relevant regulations is a serious challenge, particularly if swimming pools and systems for drinking water, catering and cleaning are to be maintained in a cost-effective way.
