Osha has published complex set of regulations for healthcare facilities to implement and comply with. Our osha manual is simple, comprehensive and easy to understand. OSHA MANUAL FOR PHYSICIANS has been written and co-authored by two experts who are drawn from diverse fields. One is a physician, who has rich and varied experience in healthcare settings -both clinics and hospitals-and the other is a safety expert with post graduate degree in environmental and safety management.
Why should you buy Osha Manual from us?
Having considerable experience in numerous government inspections, our experts believe that there are three critical elements to complying with OSHA regulations:
- Has there been any OSHA-related injury at your facility? If so, have u taken corrective measures and satisfied OSHA's recordkeeping requirements.
- Is your OSHA safety documentation complete? Do you have all the OSHA mandated plans for your facility?
- Do you conduct annual training and refresher training for your new employees? Do you maintain training records?
If you answer these three questions satisfactorily, you are well on the road to complying with OSHA regulations one hundred percent.
Labels, Signs, Posters, Training and Medical Records, Safety Plans such as ECP, Haz Comm Plan, etc. provide a visual picture to the inspectors that you are serious about complying with OSHA during an inspection. An inspector does not spend too much time at your facility. He is trained to identify egregious violations if you do not comply with the most common regulations such as completion of ECP and Haz Comm Plan, annual training and mandatory Hepatitis B vaccination records. Not having a lid for your biohazardous waste disposal container is another obvious violation, although a minor one.
