Safety & Health Webinar Series
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and its state partners conducted almost 2,000 inspections of healthcare facilities in the past year. OSHA considers healthcare a priority because its statistics show that the healthcare industry has one of the highest rates of work-related injuries and illnesses. Is your healthcare facility ready for the next OSHA inspection?
Please join Husch Blackwell attorneys for an informative webinar on OSHA standards and practices for the healthcare industry. We’ll discuss the standards OSHA uses in healthcare facility inspections and look in depth at the particularly problematic issues raised by healthcare workplace violence and OSHA whistleblower complaints.
