You're not alone.
Most managers feel the same way.
If that's the case, then this article is good news for you because we're going to tell you exactly what the requirements are. Although there are over 100 current OSHA Standards that require some sort of training for the employee, there are only a few topics that apply to the veterinary practice. Sometimes there is not a specific OSHA standard covering a topic, but since the task has known hazards, OSHA will use the General Duty Clause in requiring the business to inform the staff of the hazard. For instance, there is no special standard that regulates exposure to waste anesthetic gasses, but the Hazard Communication Standard requires that the practice educate the staff members of the risks and procedures to follow when working with that hazardous chemical and to take the necessary steps to ensure the workers are not exposed to the chemical above the permissible level. To get started on your training program, keep a running list of all the topics you want to cover.
