July 5, 2012

NIOSH has updated for 2012 the list of drugs commonly found in healthcare considered hazardous and requiring special handling.

List of Antineoplastic and Other Hazardous Drugs in Healthcare Settings was last updated in 2010 and identifies drugs that could pose an occupational threat through various routes of exposure to workers, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and housekeeping staff.

Analyzing the Hospital Life Safety Survey

This book by former Joint Commission life safety surveyor Brad Keyes, CHSP, provides a practical, strategic approach to the life safety survey process. Keyes offers a room-by-room, floor-by-floor analysis of the life safety measures you need to have in place to avoid costly citations. He simplifies confusing Joint Commission standards and CMS requirements and reveals what you should be focusing on to pass your next life safety survey.
