Download our informative brief: Decon Incidents Happen -- Let's Talk Prep to see how RRS can transform your decon program.

Slash Costs with Predictable Pricing

In-house decontamination programs drain budgets with high upfront and ongoing costs. Decon equipment, like showers and PPE, requires significant capital investment, with maintenance and upgrades adding to expenses [1]. Staff training and emergency response further inflate costs, often exceeding initial estimates due to hidden logistics [2]. These burdens divert funds from patient care and facility improvements.

RRS’s fixed-cost outsourcing model eliminates surprises, covering equipment, training, and 24/7 pros for a predictable fee. Hospitals outsourcing decon report substantial cost savings, redirecting resources to strategic goals like accreditation or expansion [3]. Don’t let runaway costs undermine your bottom line—partner with RRS today.

Ensure Compliance Without the Burden

OSHA and The Joint Commission demand rigorous decon protocols, with fines up to $161,323 per violation for non-compliance in 2025 [4]. Evolving standards, such as OSHA’s hazardous materials rules, challenge in-house programs, where staff turnover and resource constraints lead to audit failures [5]. A single violation can cost millions in penalties and reputational damage.

RRS guarantees audit-proof compliance through expert-led protocols aligned with the latest regulations. Our real-world drills and documentation ensure readiness for unannounced inspections, as seen in hospitals that avoided fines by outsourcing [6]. Invite RRS to your next meeting to explore our compliance solutions and receive our 20-Point Readiness Checklist. Secure your compliance now.

Minimize Liability Risks

Decon errors—improper PPE use, delayed response—expose your hospital to lawsuits, worker claims, and patient harm, with costs reaching millions [7]. In-house programs, reliant on minimally trained staff, heighten these risks, especially during high-stakes incidents like chemical spills [8].

RRS’s 24/7 pros and standardized protocols slash liability exposure by ensuring safe, efficient decontamination. Our safety-first approach, backed by advanced equipment, protects patients, staff, and your reputation. With RRS, you mitigate risks before they escalate. Act today to safeguard your hospital.

Save Time for Strategic Leadership

Managing in-house decon—overseeing equipment, training, and compliance—consumes significant executive time, diverting focus from strategic initiatives like patient satisfaction or board priorities [9]. These tasks burden administrators, reducing ROI on leadership efforts [10].

RRS’s turnkey solution handles all decon logistics, delivering substantial time savings and peace of mind [11]. Hospitals outsourcing to RRS report leaders redirecting hours to accreditation, community partnerships, and growth [12].
