Occupational and Environmental
Health and Safety Programs
As public awareness and government standards for business and industry
have become more stringent, occupational health and safety issues have
moved into the limelight. By stressing prevention over treatment, these
issues have reduced costs and increased productivity. Progressive business
leaders are paying close attention to workplace safety issues. Accident
prevention is good business. It reduces direct business costs, such as
workers’ compensation, and improves employee morale, productivity
and quality. SPD is a leader in occupational health and safety training
in the business community in Suffolk County and a prime resource for education
in the workplace on a full-range of health and safety topics. There are
