Hazard Communication for Healthcare

This webinar offers 1 hour of nursing continuing professional development.

Chemical safety education in healthcare is not just for environmental services and facilities engineering! Bedside employees are well versed in what to do in the event of a patient’s adverse reaction to medication. Are practitioners equally confident on what to do should they have inadvertent contact with the medication being dispensed? Many lifesaving therapies and medications on the market can have devastating consequences for employees if they are exposed to them, so it is crucial that bedside employees also be trained on the hazards posed by the chemicals in their workplace. We will be focusing on OSHA’s Hazard Communication standard 1910.1200, the Globally Harmonized System and how healthcare is impacted by their requirements.

Learning Objectives
1. Articulate what GHS stands for and how it relates to the OSHA standards
2. List the exposure pathways and give an example of each
