OSHA LEGAL SERVICES FOR THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY

The healthcare industry faces unique challenges when it comes to safety and OSHA, given OSHA’s only recent entry into the industry and the lack of related guidance.  We have the industry background and experience to help you face these challenges.  Whether your goal is to prevent an OSHA inspection altogether, manage an inspection already underway, or evaluate OSHA citations received, we can help.

We are intimately familiar with the OSHA General Industry Standards (1910 Standards) and the common safety/OSHA hazards and pitfalls at these facilities, having handled countless inspections and citations dealing with bloodborne pathogens, needle sticks, HAZCOM, lifting-related injuries, workplace violence, respiratory hazards, electrical exposures, confined space, and document management and retention, and can help you navigate those issues.
