We do a lot of work in the health care industry. A lot of work in hospitals in particular.
We’ve had a couple of hospitals where almost every time they have safety and health issues of any type, either because they’ve got staff that’s too busy doing regular day-to-day work or they have no staff.
We get called in to do either evaluations, training programs or industrial hygiene work, or asbestos work.
Again, we have a hospital that we mentioned that had the sprinkler pipe break and flood eight floors of a brand new building, and we had five or six people there for the better part of two months while they went through that whole cleanup.
We have another hospital right now that we’re going through about one hundred and twenty-five buildings that they own to do confined space evaluations and lockout tango evaluations.
We’ve gone through several other health care facilities where we’ve done training programs for their nursing staff on blood-borne pathogens.
We’re actually starting to do a lot of work in the pharmacy areas right now with they’re doing compounding.
There’s a brand new standard that’s coming out as to testing that needs to be done in those facilities to protect the product from contamination. But it becomes kind of an industrial hygiene problem in terms of how we do that testing for mold and or bacteria to make sure that the products are being handled properly.
We’ve also done hazard communication training programs, collected material safety data sheets in a number of different hospitals, and they have a bunch of kind of unique problems that they have to deal with.
Hospitals are like little cities in enough to themselves and almost everything that we do in the area of mold and bacteria, asbestos, indoor air quality, and all the safety and health things that we do. Almost all of that occurs in hospitals and we do all of those things in a number of hospitals on a regular basis.
