What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
%%
employer did not
furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from
recognized hazards that
were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to the
employee in that
employees were exposed to the hazard of being infected with Mycobacterium
Tuberculosis
through contact with patients who were or may be infected with
tuberculosis:
a)  Nurses and other health care providers were exposed to the hazard of
being infected with
tuberculosis through contact with active or suspect TB patients who were
not placed in negative
pressure isolation rooms.
Violation observed on or about 7/22/94 and 9/9/94 on the seventh, first
and ground floors.
Isolation rooms found not to be under negative pressure include:  Rooms
714 and 711, 7th. floor
north, isolation rooms; Bronchoscopy room, ground floor; Adult ICU, first
floor;  Children's
Hospital, Rooms 245 (West), 222 (East), PICU isolation Room, 1 room on 3
No/central, 1 room
on 2 North.
Feasible and useful abatement methods for reducing this hazard, as
recommended by the Centers
for Disease Control, among others are:
1.Placement of individuals with suspected or confirmed TB disease in an
AFB (Acid Fast
Bacilli) isolation room.  AFB isolation rooms for persons with suspected
or confirmed
infectious TB and areas in which high hazard procedures are performed on
such
individuals must be maintained under negative pressure and appropriately
exhausted
(either directly to the outside away from intake vents or through properly
designed,
installed, and maintained HEP filters).
2.Screen patients suspected of having TB so that active TB patients may be
quickly placed
in AFB isolation.  Provide a rapid diagnostic service.
3.Provide training to employees on the hazard and control of tuberculosis.
The training
must include the epidemiology, transmission, treatment and pathogenesis of
tuberculosis.
