Where can I find OSHA guidelines concerning ambulance workers?

Question:

Answers:
There are a multitude of OSHA guidelines that affect healthcare workers. The most pertinent would be 1910.1200, the bloodborne pathogens standard. There are others such as access to medial records, and PPE.

Some state OSHA programs, such as California and Oregon, have mandatory ergonomics programs that must be implemented. If you are in one of the states that require an ergonomics program that would greatly affect ambulance personnel.

OSHA also incorporates many industry standards and consensus standards, so JCOAH and NFPA are other places where rules concerning occupational safety for ambulance workers may be found.

First if the particular business is governed by OSHA, posters are required to be posted at the worksite (usually around the time clock area). If they aren't posted, go to human resources and ask for a copy or ask where they are displayed. If you still don't get any help, try this website for a summary of OSHA regulations http://www.ehso.com/oshaoverview.php The website has a search engine and a email service for more help.

If you are curious if a specific business is meeting OSHA guidelines, the business may be covered by the "Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations". You can find more information at their website: http://www.jointcommission.org/

Good Luck.
