  • Title: The internal environmental audit: a practical plan for hospitals.
    Author: Duplechan L.
    Journal: Healthc Facil Manag Ser; 1993 Jul; ():1-24. PubMed ID: 10132638.
    Abstract:
    While environmental regulation is by no means a new concept, growing concern about environmental issues has led to an unprecedented amount of legislation in recent years. Violations of environmental laws can result in severe civil actions and in some cases may even lead to criminal sanctions. Today more than ever, health care facilities should develop and maintain an environmental management system that ensures compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and minimizes exposure to environmental liabilities. The environmental audit plan described in this document is designed as part of a facility's ongoing efforts to manage issues and address legislation related to the physical environment of the health care facility.
