Coping with OSHA

I'm overwhelmed by OSHA! What's required? - What's not?

HARRISBIOMEDICAL can help.

It's all about employee safety. As a health care employer, these are the OSHA regulations that apply to you:

The Bloodborne Pathogens standard applies because you have employees with occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. This standard strictly regulates how you must protect your employees from exposure and how you must respond if an exposure incident occurs.

• A written Exposure Control program is required.
• Annual staff training is required.
• Annual program evaluation is required.

The Hazard Communication standard applies because your employees use products that contain hazardous chemicals. This standard requires that employees understand how to use each product safely.

• A written Hazard Communication program is required.
• Staff training is required.
• Material Safety Data Sheets are required.
• Product labeling is required.

The Accident Prevention standard applies because you have employees in your place of business certain actions must be implemented in addition to the Bloodborne Pathogens and Hazard Communication standards.

• An Accident Prevention program is required.
• Staff training is required.
