McKnights Senior Living Talks to Healthcare Co-Chair About OSHA’s Announced Increase in Workplace Inspections

In an interview with McKnights Senior Living, Kevin Troutman discusses OSHA’s announcement that it is increasing its workplace safety inspections aimed at hospitals, nursing homes, and skilled nursing facilities.

Kevin explains that the agency made the announcement as “…a three-month targeted focus on hospitals and nursing care facilities that had prior inspections that resulted in a COVID-related citation or hazard alert letter or there was a prior COVID complaint but there was no on-site inspection.”

Kevin also provided some tips that facilities can take to prepare for the impending wave of inspections and noted that “nursing homes especially should review their COVID protocols and verify that they are current and still being followed as written, and also review their procedures for managing OSHA inspections, focusing on making sure that key personnel know what to do if OSHA appears for an inspection.”
