Newsletter Headlines OSHA has released twin bulletins requiring staffing agencies and host employers to share responsibility for protecting temporary workers from respiratory and noise hazards as part of its Temporary Worker Initiative (TWI).  A good water management plan begins with your facilities management team and a solid risk assessment of your water distribution and storage systems, which must include a walk-through of your hospital with your on-site plumbing expert. After a long period of anticipation, it looks as though CMS will incorporate ligature risk recommendations from The Joint Commission (TJC) into comprehensive interpretive guidance it is creating to help reduce suicide and self-harm in healthcare facilities.
HCPro Product Spotlight Formerly of The Joint Commission, current HFAP life safety surveyor and independent consultant Brad Keyes, CHSP, provides a practical, strategic approach to the life safety survey process. He walks you through a room-by-room, floor-by-floor analysis of the life safety measures you must have in place to avoid costly citations. The book simplifies Joint Commission standards and CMS requirements and focuses on ways to pass your next life safety survey.
