Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3364 - University of Toledo › Chapter 3364-40 - Fees and Reimbursements › Section 3364-40-23 - Identification badges

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Policy statement
All employees of the university of Toledo "university" and
				university of Toledo medical center "UTMC" residing on the health science
				campus "HSC" are required to obtain a university issued identification badge
				upon hire.
In addition, all volunteers, students, suppliers, contractors
				and affiliates working or conducting business on the health science campus are
				required to wear either a university issued identification badge indicating
				their correct name, title, position and department or a temporary paper badge
				issued manually by a department or through a kiosk. The wearing of a supplier,
				contractor or affiliate company badge does not meet the requirement of
				university issued badging.
Certain medical device suppliers present in patient care
				settings, suppliers providing contracted services and pharmaceutical
				representatives will utilize an onsite badging and credentialing system for
				temporary badging during visits to HSC.
(B) Purpose of policy
Identification badging is necessary to ensure only the
				appropriate people who have a purpose working at or visiting the health science
				campus are identified by the role that they hold. All identification badges
				must be worn visibly while working on or off the premises when conducting
				business on behalf of the university or UTMC.
(C) Supplier scrub access and use of
			 vendormate supplier registration system Medical suppliers who are routinely on
			 campus and require access to hospital owned scrub uniforms will be issued a
			 university identification badge and proximity card for scrub machine access.
These medical suppliers, certain non-medical suppliers (i.e.,
				performing services), those suppliers/sales representatives meeting with
				clinicians and pharmaceutical representatives are required to sign in at one of
				several kiosks (vendormate) located throughout the hospital each time they
				visit the health science campus to receive a temporary identification badge.
				These badges expire twenty-four hours from issuance.
(D) Badge requirements
Identification badges are university property. Badges are to be
				worn in a visible location above the waist. Badges worn around the neck should
				be worn high enough to prevent the badge from becoming a safety hazard and high
				enough to be viewed. All badges must be worn facing outward with the name,
				picture, department, title and licensure visible. Identification badges may not
				be defaced in any way (i.e., stickers, buttons covering required
				information).
If an employee, volunteer, student, supplier, contractor or
				affiliate forgets or loses their identification badge on any given workday,
				they are required to obtain a replacement badge prior to assuming (or resuming)
				their work duties. Failure of staff to wear the identification badge may result
				in disciplinary action. Other categories of badge holders may be asked to leave
				campus until proof of badging is visible.
Every employee reserves the right to question any individual
				not wearing an identification badge.
All badges must be surrendered to the department prior to an
				individual ending their relationship with the university.
(E) Badge identification categories

			 health science campus may be identified as follows:

			 with red bar code, UT and UTMC logo, photo on right side.
