EMPLOYEE RIGHTSThe Occupation Health and Safety Act established certain guidelines for all employers to use for the protection and safety of their staff. All employeesshould be oriented to the hazard communication program. Review of the Hazard Communication Program will inform the staff about this program.

HAZARD COMMUNICATIONOver the years, research has shown that sometimes workers are exposed to chemical hazards. It is known that chemical exposure may cause serious health effects. Chemicals may also be safety hazards. Some even have the potential to cause fire or other serious problems.

Goals for Hazard Communication:

Hazard Communication Recognize the Hazard Communication.Employee RightsState in your own words how you can protect yourself when asked to work with hazardous chemicals.Labels on ContainersIdentify the chemical name and the manufacturer on a container label.List the two most common hazards found on container labels.Material Safety Data SheetsIdentify where to find material safety data sheets.List two ways to detect the presence of hazardous chemicals.Identify the first person you should contact if a spill or injury occurs when using a hazardous chemical.Lockout / Tagout ProceduresAlways follow OSHA Lockout / Tagout Procedures.

Material Safety Data SheetsShould a spill or injury occur when using a hazardous chemical, contact yourmanager or supervisor immediately. Review of the Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) will provide facts on how to handle the chemical if spilled. It willalso inform you of what to do in case of an injury. Below is a list of theinformation provided on the MSDS.

A list of all chemicals used in the building, along with their MSDS forms, are on file. All containers that hold chemicals must display a label that lists the contents and dilution rate.Labels on ContainersAny container which holds hazardous substances must have a label on it. The label should include the following items:

Name of chemical. Name, address and telephone number of manufacturer. Type of hazard(s). Care to be taken when using the chemical.

Each employee must be able to read and understand these labels. The information included on them will be of great value in case of a spill or an injury when using the chemicals.

Certain information may be of value to the user regarding chemicals. Listed below are the two most common hazards found on container labels.

Physical Hazards- Reactive chemicals that may undergo a violent change.- Flammable chemicals that may ignite.

Health Hazards- Irritant a substance that affects the skin, eyes, nose or respiratory tract upon contact. - Sensitizer a substance that may cause an allergic response.- Corrosive a substance that causes damage to the skin upon contact.- Toxic a substance that can cause harmful effects depending on the dosage.- Carcinogenic an agent that may cause cancer. SUMMARY OF HAZARD COMMUNICATIONReview of the Hazard Communication Program is crucial to any staff member who works with hazardous chemicals. Being able to read the labels on containers is vital to all staff members. The label provides facts on the type of chemicals found in each container. The Material Safety Data Sheets provide more information on what to do in case of an accident or spill involving the chemical.

Be sure you know how to respond if an OSHA surveyor asks you specific questions about hazardous materials. Sample questions you may be asked by an OSHA surveyor include:

What training have you received in dealing with hazardous materials? What hazardous material is commonly used in your work area? What is an MSDS? Where do you find an MSDS in your department? What type of information is found in an MSDS?

LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROGRAMRAPID CITY REGIONAL HOSPITALWhat is Lockout / Tagout?Lockout / Tagout is for the control of hazardous energy sources and covers servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment in which the unexpected energization or startup of the machines or equipment or a release of stored energy could cause injury to employees.The OSHA ruling generally requires that the energy sources for equipment be turned off or disconnected and that the switch either be locked or labeled with a warning tag. Hazardous energy sources associated with machinery are:

1.Electrical2.Pneumatic3.Hydraulic4.Fluids and Gases5.MechanicalBasic Rules Applying to Lockout / Tagout Procedure Anytime more than one person is performing Servicing or Maintenance on a piece of equipment at the same time, each shall place his/her own padlock on the energy isolating device. No one other than the person(s) placing padlock(s) on energy isolating devices shall remove padlocks and restore power. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to enforce this policy in their trade. The contractor must provide training to all authorized and affected employees to ensure the policy is understood.Basic Rules for Using Lockout or Tagout System Procedure All equipment needs to be locked out or tagged out to protect against accidental or inadvertent operation when such operation could cause injury to personnel. Do not attempt to operate any switch, valve, or other energy-isolating device where it is locked or tagged out.

Regional Health (RH) Compliance ProgramRH CommitmentCode of ConductOpen Lines of CommunicationAnonymous Hotline 1-877-800-6907Corporate Responsibility Department 716-4738Non-retaliation

Regional Health is committed to doing the right thing and conducting ethical business in compliance with all local, state and federal rules and regulations. The Code of Conduct outlines Regional Healths corporate culture. The code begins with Dr. Harts statement of integrity which sets the tone for the organization. As a contractor, you must read and agree to the terms outlined in the Code.

All employees, vendors, contractors, students, volunteers, etc are encouraged to ask questions and report compliance related issues/concerns. RH feels so strongly about empowering its workforce members that an Anonymous Hotline has been established to ensure anonymity for those who fear reporting. You may also report concerns directly to the Corporate Responsibility Department. In addition, RH has a non-retaliation policy which protects individuals who report issues in good faith.23HIPAA Privacy and Information SecurityHealth Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)Privacy Rule: What information is protected?Security Rule: How we protect such information?What information is protected by HIPAA?What responsibilities do I have in protecting and securing information?What are the consequences of non-compliance?

One component of RHs Compliance Program that is important for you to understand is our Privacy and Information Security Programs. These programs ensure compliance with the federal law HIPAA. HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This federal law establishes basic privacy protections for all patients and requires appropriate security safeguards/measures to protect patients protected health information (PHI). HIPAA requires that all RH workforce members (which includes employees, contractors, vendors, students, volunteers, etc) are trained and understand their role/responsibilities to ensure compliance with HIPAA. Information that must be kept confidential and secure is considered Protected health information. This is any information that can be used to identify a patient. (e.g. name, SS#, diagnoses, or the mere presence of a person in one of our facilities). Such information could include you or your family, friends, etc. As a contractor, your duties may require you to enter patient care areas or be exposed to PHI and sensitive information. Any information you overhear and learn while conducting business in a RH facility is considered confidential and may not be shared with anyone else. Examples of this include conversations with spouse, social media postings, texting, etc.

One key security safeguard and your responsibility while working at a RH facility is to wear your badge. This helps us keep track of individuals and maintain proper security in our facilities. Due to recent changes in the HIPAA law (known as HITECH), individuals can be held liable for HIPAA violations. This can include penalties up to $250,000 and up to 10 years in prison. By signing the confidentiality agreement, you agree to keep PHI confidential and will follow appropriate privacy and security procedures to respect our patients right to privacy and security.24Additional InformationFor further information on any aforementioned manual or program in this presentation contact the Director of Safety or the Project Coordinator (Contact information is on the contact list) or your supervisor.
