  • cancer
  • organ toxicity
  • fertility problems
  • genetic damage
  • birth defects

This course takes a detailed look at several different hazardous materials and medications that healthcare workers may be exposed to daily, as well as ways to protect and mitigate from serious health issues.

  • Train workers in potential chemical hazards and controls (engineering controls, work practices, and PPE) necessary to prevent hazards in the work area. [29 CFR 1910.1200(h)(3)]
  • Personal Protective Equipment: Employers are required to provide appropriate PPE, such as gloves, goggles, and splash aprons when employees are handling hazardous chemicals. [29 CFR 1910.132] PPE is the least effective control method because it relies on employee behaviors to prevent exposure.
