2 History of OSHA Regulations & Guidelines Occupational Safety & Health Act Initially passed in 1970 for every private sector employer Prior to this, each state had their own laws Later states developed their own OSHA regulations that were equal to or had higher standards than the federal acts that were approved by OSHA 2
3 Scope of OSHA Responsible for Employee Safety Does not cover Self-Employed persons Employee situations that are regulated by other federal rules Responsible for Enforcement of guidelines Assessment of non-compliance, fines and criminal charges 3
4 Scope of OSHA When certain situations are not addressed in the OSHA Rules The general duty clause is applied Where the employer provides employment in a safe environment free of recognized hazards that can cause harm, physical injury or death to the employee The employer should have mechanisms in place to reduce the risks or prevent injury/death to employees 4
5 Some common areas health professionals are CITED by OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Hazard Communications PPE Eye Wash Protection Maintenance of Injury and Illness Log Electrical Systems Wiring General Complaints from employee 5
6 What happens when employee complains OSHA compliance health and safety officer will call or visit the facility Occur more frequently due to complaints than surprise or scheduled inspections The inspectors or officers look for Training of employee Documentation of training Exposure Control Plan Engineering & Work Practice Controls Hazard Communication, General Office Safety Complaints or dissatisfaction of Employee(s) Takes pictures of the facility or issue Collects evidence Statements by employer or employee 6
7 Who is at risk for Inspections? Only offices with employees Offices with many employees (Random) Offices that are corporations (Inc.) Employee Complains of Unsafe Conditions OSHA Inspects small offices only on employee complaint and focus on the particular issue as well as other safety issues When employer does not enforce regulations On regulated waste (within the office only) When the Dentist is an employee of a Incorporation (may be an owner himself). 7
8 What happens after an inspection? Conduct a Closing Conference Discuss alleged violations Attempt to obtain agreement concerning abatement List a date for abatement of alleged violations 8
9 What could an employer do for the inspection? Legal right to demand a Warrant Legal right to demand a subpoena for records Inspector not allowed to interfere with patient care Consult your attorney on the following-- OSHA inspections Legal obligations & regulations If inspection is refused by the employer If ongoing inspections need to be terminated 9
10 What could an employer do for the inspection? Employer may not admit to violations But take inspectors RECOMMENDATIONS under advisement Provide to employees or post a copy of OSHA citations Employer has 15 working days following the receipt of citation to file a notice of contest OSHA will grant an informal hearing during those 15 days & usually reduces fine, but rarely vacates citations 10

14 Scope Applies to all occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious material New rule covers needle less sharps and related devices stressing on the evaluation and possible adoption of the new devices and methods to reduce sharp injuries Include input from staff on selection and use Addition of evaluation or adoption of methods to control needle/sharp injuries into Exposure Control Plan 14
15 What is included as BBP Pathogens present in blood and that can transmit disease to employees or humans Other potentially infectious materials Saliva Teeth Biopsy specimen Serum sample Urine sample Items exposed to the above materials 15
16 Written Exposure Control Plan Includes Procedures for evaluating exposure incident or Exposure Determination Universal or Standard Precautions Procedures and means to control exposures Level of PPE, Engineering & Work Practice Controls, Universal/Standard Precautions, Training, etc. Means to ensure that the plan is understood by and accessible to employees The plan should be reviewed and updated at least annually or when tasks or procedures are changed This can be referred to as Standard Operating Procedures 16

18 Methods of Compliance Heart of the Exposure Control Plan Includes safe practices or practice methods to reduce the risk of exposures Whether Universal/Standard Precautions followed Use of appropriate level of PPE for a given procedure Engineering controls (HVE/SE; Rubber Dam; evacuation devices) Work-practice measures (Needle recapping; disposing needles in chair side sharps containers; placing instruments back in to cassette cradles to avoid sharps injuries) Housekeeping issues (Avoid leaving saturated waste or sharps in regular trash; differentiate between housekeeping and clinical tasks) Quality Assurance and Compliance is an essential and ongoing process (To be conducted at least annually if not more often; review procedures and protocols; correct or improve) 18
