Healthcare
Did you realize that:
- Surgical masks do not provide respiratory protection from chemicals
- Bloodborne protective clothing is not a chemical barrier
- Chemicals will pass through latex exam gloves
- Water can not be used to decontaminate all patients and may cause adverse or violent reactions
- Emergency response crews have become ill from treating chemically contaminated patients
- Emergency response vehicles have been taken out of service for extended periods of time while being decontaminated
If you answered "NO" to any of these statements, then you need to read on . . .
Why this program?
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has indicated that health care facilities would be subject to hazardous waste and emergency response regulations (29CFR1910.120) in handling a chemically contaminated patient. In addition to having a written plan and appropriate equipment, employees are expected to be trained to the level they are expected to perform.
At a minimum, staff who will be performing patient decontamination must meet the requirements of First Responder Operations Level. Other staff not actively involved in decontamination, but still a part of the response system are required to be trained to the First Responder Awareness Level.
Each level of training has specific performance objectives identified in the regulations. This program is designed to assist health care facilities meet these, as well as other emergency preparedness requirements.
