On Tuesday September 14, 2011, Dr. Scott Harris will present ”OSHA in Healthcare: Out of Sight & Out of Mind?” at the 2011 PureSafety Conference in Nashville, TN. He is one of a handful of industry speakers invited to participate in the event.  Our web visitors can download sneak preview slides of Scott’s presentation here.  A technical paper on this presentation is scheduled for publication in OSHATracker in September.  Sorry, no release until then, but we will post it here as soon as it’s out.

So what is all the fuss about?  Based on a number of generally accepted myths about OSHA, members of the healthcare community may think that management would be justified in taking little or no additional action to prevent the spread of occupationally acquired infectious diseases or deal with other OSHA issues. The facts say otherwise.
