There were nearly 100,000 lost time accidents in 2000 among nurses, aids and orderlies, placing these workers in the second most hazardous occupation (Source: US Dept of Labor). In the twelve-month period from October 2000 to September 2001, Bloodborne Pathogens and Hazard Communication were the top two most frequently cited standards against health services by OSHA. Rounding out the top five were:
Electrical Safety (OSHA Regs. 1910.305 and 1910.303)
Lock out / Tag out (OSHA Std. 1910.147)
Recordkeeping (1904).

The Training Network categorizes safety training for healthcare workers by Infection Control and Inservice Education. These two categories generally mirror the departments responsible for training on different types of safety requirements. For example, Bloodborne Pathogen video training is easily found under the Infection Control category and Right-to-Know is contained within Inservice Education, as is ergonomics, HIPAA, lifting, and general orientation.
