Happy Monday!
For many of us, this is the start of another busy week. For our awesome healthcare providers, we’re putting the spotlight on your safety today.
This week, let’s think about what keeps us safe on the job. Thanks to government agencies like OSHA, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, we can stay safe at work and focus on providing excellent care.
Now, here are some of the amazing things that OSHA does to benefit your practice.
Happy & Healthy Workplace
OSHA provides regulations to ensure that you are safe and healthy at work. Since OSHA came around in 1970, workplace deaths and illnesses have plummeted by nearly 70%! Workplace regulations do save lives and are vital for a happy and healthy workplace.
OSHA in healthcare gives employees the safety map they need at work, with guidelines for preventative measures, required equipment, identifying hazards in your practice (like how bloodborne pathogens are no joke!), training, and recordkeeping and reporting.
OSHA allows employees to feel confident and empowered, having a supportive framework with their safety in mind.
Taking Care of Business
Happy and empowered employees are up to 20% more productive! OSHA cultivates this environment by ensuring employees have the knowledge and resources to stay safe.
OSHA goes beyond just rules. When OSHA regulation is properly followed, a culture of compliance is created, with employees feeling valued and ready to take on what’s next in their jobs.
When you feel confident in your workplace safety, you can focus your energy on taking care of patients.
Staying Safe
Feeling safe is key to success in any organization, but in healthcare, it’s paramount. Working in healthcare can be hazardous. For instance, in 2019, hospitals recorded 221,400 illnesses and injuries at work.
The good news: this doesn’t have to be your practice if you take the right precautions.
