Question

I have to research OSHA regulations for needle safety and be prepared to discuss the consequences to the employer of not following these regulations.

I have to google a minimum of two medical suppliers, and investigate the various safety devices offered for needles and
decide which I think would be most effective in the workplace, and I have to defend the answer.

Answer 1

OSHA- Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Few regulations of osha each facilitate to:

• Reveiw annually and bloodborne pathogen exposure and it's control plan should be updated.
• The engineered medical devices need to be evaluated and use safely to prevent or minimize the occupational exposure.
• Identification and selection of safety devices evaluated of solicit employee include front line medical workers.
• Expand the record to meet requirements and maintain sharp injury log.

The consequences to the employer of not following these regulations are:

• Transmission of disease from infected person to healthcare or from health care to person.
• Fine payments for harming the patient.
• Reputation of employee lost.

Poor record of staff Will make loss of job complications.

The minimum of two medical suppliers are:

1. McKesson medical supplier
2. Medline.

The various safety devices offered for needle

• BD Eclipse needle
• BD safetyglide needle
• BD autoshield duo pen needle.

I think BD autoshield duo pen needle is most effective in work place. Because it completes OSHA required compliance. It has undergoing rigorous testing before practice.

It reduces the risk of needle stick injury.

So BD autoshield duo pen needle would be effective in work place.
