OSHA Training And Consulting

You’re aware of OSHA training and safety requirements, but what is OSHA?

The modern workplace is protected by a multitude of regulatory entities to ensure that all employees and staff can perform their duties in a safe, healthful environment.

The most notable regulatory agency is known as The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) which was established in 1971 by the passage of the Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act.

The primary goal of OSHA has been to ensure protection against hazardous working conditions for workers and to put in place systems of regulation, oversight, and accountability.

The simple purpose of OSHA is to require “every employer covered under the Act furnish to his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees” (29 CFR 1903.1).

What are OSHA SDS (Previously MSDS) requirements for my facility?

SDS (Safety Data Sheets) previously known as MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets), are documents relating to any material, chemical, or other hazards specific to a unique workplace environment.

For example, a Veterinary care facility will have its own set of chemical and biological considerations such as anesthetics, antibiotics, and toxic gases or gaseous by-products.

Each of these unique hazards must be identified and compiled in a SDS (Safety Data Sheet) which includes procedures and information such as:

• Hazard identification

• Chemical composition

• Procedures for exposure treatment

• Specifications for handling and storage

• Accidental release measures

• Personal protection (PPE) requirements

• Fire control methods (if applicable)

• Any other applicable points of information.

All of this information must be compiled and stored on-site and be accessible by the facilities staff. In addition to identifying these hazards and assisting in the creation of SDS documents, Physician’s Resource will aid in the organization of OSHA safety programs and training that can be carried out on an ongoing basis to ensure the entire staff is both aware of any applicable hazards, as well as be a part of a united prevention effort company wide.
