| description | This article provides an overview of the fundamental and inherent challenges in
developing a health surveillance program for a health care facility. These challenges are
similar to those facing individuals responsible for developing health surveillance
programs for multiple industries because several “mini-industries” exist within hospitals.
Hazards can range from those that are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration to those that are unregulated but pose a threat to health care workers.
Occupational hazards that are unique to the health care industry also exist. A health
surveillance program can be developed with focused assessment and a strong occupational
safety and health program. Implementation can occur within a health care setting with the
buy-in of the many stakeholders involved, especially supervisors managing departments
where chemical and other hazards are present. |
