"ACHIEVING SHARPS SAFETY COMPLIANCE
IN NON-HOSPITAL HEALTHCARE SETTINGS"

Presented by the University of Virginia exclusively for surveyors, auditors,
accreditors, and consultants serving non-hospital settings

OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, published 20 years ago, mandates the use of safety engineered needles & syringes wherever blood exposure occurs. Yet, there are still substantial gaps in adoption of these products in non-hospital settings.

Topics

  • Update on status of compliance and needlestick safety
  • OSHA requirements in non-hospital settings
  • OSHA enforcement
  • Myths and misconceptions
  • Implementation of best practices toward compliance
