2026 - eCompliance Series - OSHA Training for Medical Offices-OSHA Employee Training

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This OSHA employee training from Doctors’ Management reviews how healthcare practices must protect workers and comply with federal or state OSHA programs. It explains OSHA’s purpose, who is covered, and that patient care itself is not regulated by OSHA. Key roles include the practice safety coordinator, who maintains policies, training, and records. Required elements include visible OSHA posters, initial training within 10 days of hire, annual refreshers, and accessible written plans such as the Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Plan, Hazard Communication Plan, Emergency Action Plan, PPE checklist, and training documentation.<br /><br />The training outlines employer duties (safe workplace, PPE, medical/exposure record access, no retaliation) and employee duties (follow procedures, use PPE, report hazards). It describes inspection priorities and processes, citation categories, and penalties. Major healthcare standards covered are Bloodborne Pathogens (universal precautions, Hepatitis B vaccination, sharps safety and logging) and Hazard Communication (labels/pictograms, SDS access, chemical lists). Additional topics include TB guidance, ergonomics, workplace violence, radiation/laser safety, electrical lockout/tagout, fire prevention, and emergency response planning.
