compliance with monthly recordkeeping and semiannual \/ annual compliance reporting.&nbsp; Our services are always tailored to your hospital\u2019s specific needs.&nbsp; For some hospitals, EARTHRES staff visit with the site on a monthly basis to ensure routine daily and other monitoring and emission checks are in place, inspect sources, and check records.&nbsp; Other sites only require periodic or annual visits.&nbsp; Many hospitals prefer beginning with a compliance audit across multiple programs to identify areas of improvement as well as programs where the hospital is performing well.&nbsp; For example, many hospitals have a good handle on hazardous and chemo-infectious waste disposal, but may struggle with completing daily emission checks, especially for those facilities which are short staffed, or do not have maintenance coverage on weekends and holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure
