In August of 1996, OSHA unveiled an outreach and
enforcement initiative to protect workers in nursing home and personal care
facilities. This initiative emphasized helping employers reduce injuries and
illnesses through effective safety and health programs. The initiative program also
addressed potential nursing home hazards including back injuries, slips and falls,
workplace violence, and risks from bloodborne pathogens and tuberculosis.
OSHA's Office of Training and Education has developed the following 83 slide presentation in support of this special emphasis program.
In addition to the sequential slide presentation, an index of the slide titles, and a menu of 15 slides per page, is available. The menu pages can be printed and copied for handouts.
