[in Your State]
There are numerous health and safety issues associated with healthcare facilities, including bloodborne pathogens and biological hazards; potential chemical and drug exposures; waste anesthetic gas exposures; ergonomic hazards from lifting and repetitive tasks; laser hazards; laboratory hazards; and radioactive material and X-ray hazards.

In addition, there are also many nonmedical positions in the healthcare industry that present their own unique safety and health challenges, including some in maintenance, housekeeping, food service, laundry, and administration.

We’ve compiled this web center to provide easy access to training and compliance information for safety and health professionals working in the healthcare industry.
