Newton, MA (PRWEB) May 15, 2006 -- Peptimmune, a clinical stage
biotechnology company, has implemented EH&E Inc.'s eH&E-LabSupport web
portal to better manage its environmental health and safety compliance
efforts.
By implementing the eH&E-LabSupport solution, Masha Ushomirsky, Safety
Officer at Cambridge, Mass.- based Peptimmune, Inc., said she and her
team are now more efficiently able to account for and identify their
compliance resources and materials easily and accurately.
Larger companies employ a full-time professional staff to manage the
complex federal, state, and local regulatory compliance requirements
that all laboratories are required to meet. Smaller firms cannot afford
such resources. EH&E, a leading provider of health and safety and
engineering consulting services, introduced "eH&E-LabSupport" as the
answer. A free whitepaper about the solution is available from:

At first for Ushomirsky, finding the right system to track and organize
our compliance materials was difficult. "I purchased compliance software
that I had seen at a seminar, but the software was too generic and
didn't help us track our compliance materials at all."
"I even tried to create my own system. I could not believe that no one
had created software specific to the regulations of the biotech
industry. When I found eH&E-LabSupport and examined it closely, I found
that it fits our needs perfectly," she said.
"The EH&E system offers additional benefits beyond managing all of our
possible compliance needs. For instance, with the customization of the
EH&E site template, Peptimmune is able to track chemicals that would
normally slip between the cracks because they don't fall into standard
categories," said Ushomirsky.
"The beauty of the eH&E-LabSupport system is that it is web based, so
our employees can log in and stay aware of dangerous chemicals and
possible situations," stated Ushomirsky. "In the event of an audit, OSHA
can see that all our compliance materials are organized in one location
and that we are putting forth a good effort to remain compliant."
"And," she added, "beyond the value of the ‘compliance portal' is the
ability to discuss industry issues with EH&E's own professional
engineers. They (EH&E) are people who understand and have the expertise
to assist me with any issue that may come up. Between the software and
engineering resources, eH&E-LabSupport has paid for itself in full. I
recommend eH&E-LabSupport compliance portal to any biotech company."
The eH&E-LabSupport portal provides a comprehensive compliance
management program, including tools, databases and document templates to
facilitate easy program development and maintenance. A self-audit tool
provides a launching pad for assessing the current program status and
customizing the site contents to the organization. The solution is built
upon Microsoft Windows® SharePoint®, thus allowing users to easily
customize and integrate the eH&E-LabSupport application with all their
Microsoft Office products, including Outlook®.
Lab-focused web training programs are available to minimize classroom
training requirements. And eH&E-LabSupport provides direct access to
EH&E's experienced team of EH&S professionals and engineers
