EH&E’s Approach 

Documentation and Program Review
Review of relevant OS&H program documents such as:

  • OSHA injury and illness logs
  • OS&H plans such as:
    • Hazard Communication Policy
    • Bloodborne Pathogens Policy
    • Chemical Hygiene Policy
    • Formaldehyde Policy
    • Ethylene Oxide Policy
    • Permit Required Confined Space Entry Policy
    • Hot Work Permit
    • Lockout / Tagout Policy
    • Fall Protection Policy
    • Laser Safety Policy
  • Training records/database
  • Exposure monitoring records (especially for OSHA regulated substances)
  • Respirator fit test records
  • Laboratory inspection reports
  • OS&H initiative documentation for last several years (e.g., Safe Lifting Programs, Sharps Injury Control/Needle Prevention program)

Site Inspection and Work Environment Survey
Perform a walkthrough of representative locations of your facility with input from hospital stakeholders. The site walkthrough will target critical areas, including a random sample of non-critical areas. 

Compliance Assessment and Program Gap Analysis
Identify gaps in compliance and highlight areas for improvement, identifying specific OSHA compliance concerns as well as high level management concerns. 

OS&H Status Report Recommendations and Presentations
Present a final report including recommendations to improve overall OS&H program performance. This information is summarized in a prioritized action list based on compliance implications and/or serious injury or illness.
