Environmental Policy

Inomedic Health Applications (IHA) delivers comprehensive occupational health services to the Hanford Site in Washington State. Services are delivered in an environmentally responsible and safe manner through our Environmental Management System (EMS). This policy is fully endorsed by the IHA Program Manager with the expectation that everyone who works for or on behalf of IHA takes personal responsibility for adhering to the following principles:

• We protect the environment, conserve resources, and prevent pollution.
• We achieve and maintain compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.
• We are committed to continually improve our environmental performance.
• We are committed to managing our operations in an environmentally responsible manner.
• We set and strive to achieve environmental goals with measurable and documented targets, which are reviewed annually for activities with significant environmental aspects.
• We are committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for all employees.

The EMS is a systematic process designed to continually improve environmental performance by reducing the negative environmental impacts caused by work activities, products, and services. The primary purpose of the EMS is to continually improve environmental performance and maintain regulatory compliance.

The EMS reflects the values stated in the IHA Environmental Policy and applies to everyone who works for or on behalf of IHA.

IHA conforms to the International Organization for Standardization, Environmental Management Systems Requirements (ISO 14001:2004). IHA operations that can affect the environment are identified and evaluated. Significant environmental aspects and their associated environmental impacts are then controlled and monitored. IHA has identified its significant environmental aspects as Biohazard Waste Generation and Management and Solid Waste Generation and Management.

The primary point of contact for the EMS is Lynn Serrato, (509) 373-3144.
