Case Studies

Daniels ‘value’ is achieved for our customers through multiple touchpoints – efficiencies, cost-savings, environmental achievements and increased safety benchmarking. There is no such thing as overnight success in our industry – find out how we’ve explored the journey of change with other US based healthcare facilities.

How we make a difference

All Daniels products and services are scrutinized through microbiological testing, peer reviewed studies and client before-and after-case studies; our sharps and medical waste disposal solutions are test-proven time and time again to deliver results across the critical spectrum of sharps injuries, infection risk prevention, CO2 emission reductions, labor efficiencies, and waste volume minimization.
