How did workers donning fanny packs ensure needle safety compliance with inspectors from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)? If you missed the live presentation last fall of our needle safety audio conference, Needle Safety Mandate: What you must know before OSHA inspectors come calling, don’t worry. Here’s a special opportunity for Hospital Employee Health subscribers to order the CD version of this essential compliance program for just $99. Also, each listener can earn up to one hour of continuing education credit by returning the CE evaluation form mailed with the order.
Hear this novel approach and many other "real-world" solutions described by a California infection control professional who has been facing down OSHA inspectors for more than two years. With the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations saying it will enforce the same requirements, the insightful grass-roots guidance and clear explanation of all the requirements in this audio conference can ensure full compliance at your facility.
California was the first state to face this issue several years ago. Tales of actual OSHA inspections — giving precise details of what was regarded as compliant or what drew a citation — are revealed by Cynthia Fine, RN, MSN, CIC, infection control practitioner at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, CA.
Our expert faculty also includes veteran OSHA observer Katherine West, BSN, MSEd, CIC, an infection control consultant with Infection Control/ Emerging Concepts Inc. in Manassas, VA. West provides a straightforward, practical explanation of what the federal changes require of facilities.
To order this important audio conference CD, call our customer service department at (800) 688-2421 and refer to this effort code: 61641.
