December 10, 2004—The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has released a new video covering the basics in long-term care workplace safety, featuring lifting, housekeeping issues (e.g., blood spills, laundry, etc.) and more. OSHA’s Chicago Region worked in partnership with Life Services Network and the Illinois Onsite Safety and Health Consultation Program to develop the 18-minute video filmed at Tabor Hills Healthcare Facility in Naperville, Illinois. “Work Smart, Be Safe: An Orientation to Long Term Care Safety” and companion printed manuals are free and available online in streaming video in both English and Spanish.
