Auditsmart Waste Identification
Sharpsmart’s comprehensive auditing platform delivers full visibility into waste segregation practices, compliance risks and cost-impacting behaviours. We empower healthcare facilities to control costs, sustainability and influence over their waste destiny.
Trends Audit
Forming our initial assessment of your facilities’ unique requirements both at a site and department level, our team will review your current processes including containment methodologies, waste segregation and movement efficiencies, as well as identifying any environmental, compliance and safety considerations. This audit will identify areas of focus where Sharpsmart can drive results.
Container Efficiency Audit
Our Strategy: An audit of 10 sharps containers per customer per month conducted in a secure and controlled environment by our trained experts. Reporting will be broken out by department, date and location.
What we can deliver: Reporting on fill-level efficiency, segregation results with photographic dissemination, recommended follow-up actions to increase performance, and in-depth overview of best-practice benchmarking.
Quarterly Audit
Ensuring our team are in tune with the reality of your organisation’s waste practices, we conduct a quarterly audit to ensure that the KPI’s and strategic goals that we have set are on track and aligned with partnership expectations. We identify areas of success and improvement in current practices, and use the findings as a blueprint to develop next-step KPI’s at our quarterly business review.
Pre-Acceptance Audit
This is a legal requirement of every facility that produces healthcare waste. The audit is conducted to ensure that healthcare waste generators are identifying the most environmental solution for all waste streams and it is compulsive that the document be provided to your waste contractor prior to service commencement. Sharpsmart is licensed and able to conduct this audit on your behalf.
SED Audit
An extension of our passion to reduce needlestick injuries, our SED audit can be carried out on single or multiple sharps containers to identify the widespread use and correct activation of Safety Engineered Devices. This audit enables our customers to identify health and safety risks and provide context for re-education on sharps injury risk management beyond the use of a safety-designed sharps container.
Total Waste Audit
Our most comprehensive audit, this is conducted across multiple customer locations and provides a detailed analysis of the performance and management of all waste streams. Our analysis provides clear direction on where opportunity lies to introduce new waste streams for more compliant and effective segregation, improve waste disposal efficiency and accuracy, minimise waste volumes, optimise container fill-efficiency, and reduce costs through new methodologies, training or innovation.
