Life Sciences – Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, and Medical Device
Construction in the life sciences sector — including pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device organizations — is highly complex. Even though the tasks required in this industry are challenging, they still need to be done quickly and safely. When working in the life sciences industry, it is vital for workers to have a background in this sector, so they understand the daily risks associated in these environments. Some of these risks include the construction of “clean” facilities that house specialized processing equipment and proprietary manufacturing systems, as well as control of hazardous energy (LOTO), electrical safety, working at heights, hot work, lifting, and material handling.
HazTek has over 26 years of experience in this sector and can partner with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device organizations to make their projects safe and successful. We employ accomplished safety professionals with Life Sciences backgrounds who have electrical, steel erection, underground utilities, and equipment installation experience. Additionally, our team offers expert collaboration with dynamic safety planning for the facility — with a keen understanding of the rigors of drug development and manufacturing regulations, both in the U.S. and internationally.
