Intro
All medical practices must be committed to providing a safe workplace for their employees by complying with the workplace standards, rules, regulations, and guidance established by the Office of Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that apply to medical practices. The OSHA Medical Practice Compliance Toolkit sets forth the policies and procedures that help to ensure a safe workplace by:
- Reducing or eliminating hazards in the practice
- Warning employees of any existing hazards
- Providing training to employees on how to protect against hazards
- Ensuring the use of safe tools and equipment in the practice
The policies and procedures included in the toolkit are intended to:
- Identify the employees responsible for the OSHA standards that apply to their workplace
- Ensure the dissemination of information and training regarding workplace hazards
- Inform employees of the rights and protections entitled under OSHA
The policies and procedures in this manual cover broad categories of workplace safety as applicable to medical practices, for which OSHA has formal standards of compliance.
Disclaimer
It is the duty of the practice's stakeholders to ensure the final OSHA Medical Practice Compliance manual has been fully customized for the practice.
You acknowledge that additional customization and legal review are necessary to ensure an OSHA-compliant manual.
25 states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands have their own OSHA-approved state plans. If you are located in these areas, make sure you know your state's standards, which could be more stringent than OSHA's standards.
You acknowledge that state law regarding OSHA laws is outside the scope of this manual.
Legal Review
After your practice's OSHA Medical Practice Compliance Toolkit manual has been created, your legal counsel should review it. A legal review is critical before production and distribution.
This manual template is current as of 2024. Changes in laws, rules, and regulations may require periodic updates to this manual. OSHA regulations mandate that all staff members receive OSHA training annually.
