Blood-borne pathogens: New software cuts through record-keeping maze

Article Abstract:

OSHA's blood-borne-pathogens standard greatly increases the number of medical records companies must maintain. The danger of contamination to human immunodeficiency and hepatitis-B viruses leads to strict monitoring of measures on health guidelines such as vaccination. Software is specially developed for the purpose of medical record keeping and processing. It helps to reduce the amount of actual paperwork, simultaneously ensuring data confidentiality required by OSHA through built-in access coding. Several systems are available, and it is up to the company to pick the best one to suit their needs.

OSHA says it's time to get the lead out

Article Abstract:

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's interim final standard for lead-work safety is designed to protect construction workers and others from high exposures to lead. Lead poisoning can result in kidney disease, anemia and reproductive system disorders. The new interim rule, which came into force on June 3rd, 1993, is designed to protect workers who remove lead paint from surfaces such as bridges, plus those in the iron, plumbing, heating and demolition industries.
