How would your facility fair today if it was inspected by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a state environmental agency, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)?

Surprise inspections are not uncommon, and it is important to know how you would do if you were inspected so that you can correct deficiencies and problems before you are caught off guard. EPA and state agency fines can be extremely large for even seemingly small infractions scores can greatly affect the ranking of a hospital. Our mock inspection team will arrive on site and walk through the entire inspection process, which includes an opening conference, plan review process, a facility walk-through, interviews with employees, and a closing conference. Triumvirate Environmental's compliance advisors will look at your facility through the eyes of an inspector. We can also provide guidance on how to most effectively escort and interact with inspectors.

Since practice makes perfect, we can complete multiple runs until you receive the "score" that you are looking for on your inspection. Similarly, audits take a close look at your facility's operations and management plans. However, audits are not necessarily focused on what one agency or commission will examine, but rather, your entire environmental health and safety program overall. It, therefore, can be more inclusive but will focus less on successful performance during an inspection. Both an audit and a mock inspection might be what your facility needs. If you feel that your facility is at high risk for an inspection, and if your program has not been audited in the past few years, Triumvirate Environmental recommends completing both to protect your facility and the people in it.
