Oh Please --- whoever was responsible for this in AZ dropped the boat--do you know how many companies this happens to. Call a hospital lab and I bet you would be surprised the infractions that they face during an inspection. Grow up and let go of your anger

Dropped the boat"? WTF is that? Hey, BL, if you're going to send an emissary then send a worthwhile adversary, not someone who "drops the boat"!

These were not "infractions". Look the word up "infractions" you "fool" (we know who you are). These are gross violations of misconduct that put innocent people at grave risk of personal injury. They cannot be explained away by casual assertions that "everybody does it". Such a poor excuse to explain why you didn't even bother to register with the ADEQ, file reports, pay fees. And that's just what they found. Had they looked when the lab was operating they would have found a lot worse!

Too bad the COO at the time was spending more time fornicating with employees that paying attention to actual operations. I guess the response to that too is "look at any lab and you will find inappropriate relations between management and employees".

You are a complete moron who is wasting way too much time on these boards and expanding much too much of your energy with negativity. I doubt you even still work at Bostwick.

Bostwick Laboratories Inc. of Tempe to Pay $129, 900 Civil Penalty to Resolve Hazardous Waste Violations in Maricopa County

PHOENIX AZ (7/8/2011) – The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and Arizona Attorney General’s Office announced today that Bostwick Laboratories Inc. of Tempe has agreed to pay a $129,900 civil penalty under a consent judgment for hazardous waste violations.

The company, located at 1700 Desert Dr. in Tempe, provides laboratory services specializing in the monitoring and diagnosis of cancer.

During an inspection of the facility in February 2010 by ADEQ’s hazardous waste inspection and compliance unit, it was found that the company did not put decontamination equipment in one storage area and also had not made local police and fire authorities and area hospitals familiar with its emergency procedures.

The company also had incomplete inspection logs, did not have contingency emergency plans or an emergency coordinator, lacked training records for hazardous waste storage personnel, did not mark “Hazardous Waste” on five-gallon containers and shipped hazardous waste without obtaining the required ID number from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

In addition, a records review determined that Bostwick Laboratories did not register with ADEQ, pay annual registration or hazardous waste generation fees or submit annual reports since beginning operations in 2006.

“This lack of management of hazardous waste put employees and the community at risk. Agreeing to pay this sizeable penalty is an acknowledgement of the severity of the situation,” ADEQ Director Henry Darwin said.

"Any company handling hazardous waste needs to rigorously comply with state standards to protect the health of our citizens and our environment," Attorney General Tom Horne said.

Is that a flimsy attempt at an excuse? Putting company in the same category as others that have had ADEQ violations and fines? Implying that these violations are ok because it is "just" standard procedure for ADEQ to release details of violations?

Sounds like it to me. Either he/she says "this is old news", or this happens with all labs, lol. These excuses are so elementary, I could find a high school dropout that could present a better defense. Oh wait, many of his managers did drop out of high school. Make that a high school graduate, ha haa.

Truth is...nobody here is going to do shit about it. Making a big deal about it here doesn't mean shit. All you assholes say is, you have this or have that on BL. You don't have shit. If you did, you'd blow the whistle, but you don't have shit!

At least some people did get some evidence before leaving. What did you print out from the emails or gather before you left? I have no fear if he tries to come after me for speaking the truth. My work log will back up everything I say, along with copied documents if I'm investigated for slander. If I were as cold hearted as DGB, and didn't care about my friends who are still trapped in that environment, Richmond would've been in deeper turmoil by now. MAKE COPIES PEOPLE, even when he tells you not to!!!
