The International Healthcare Worker Safety Center is sponsoring a free webinar on “Achieving Sharps Safety Compliance in Non-Hospital Healthcare Settings.”
Much of sharps and needlestick prevention studies and data are taken from hospitals, yet 60% of healthcare workers are employed outside of hospitals in settings that may lack the resources to be fully compliant with the ten-year-old Federal Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act and OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Webinar topics will include:
- Update on the status of compliance and reasons why needlestick safety is still a problem
- OSHA’s requirements and enforcement in non-hospital healthcare settings
- Common myths and misconceptions
- How to implement best practices towards compliance
