Hi, does anyone have roles in the hospital that are covered by the OSHA HAZWOPER standard? For example in Level 1 trauma, decontamination teams, or HazMat response teams.

I could not find mention of this in the MCOH archives.

This is the latest guidance from OSHA that I could find:

osha3249.pdf Best Practices for Hospital-Based First Receivers 2005

We are working on evaluating roles that may be covered by this standard in a level 1 trauma quaternary level academic health system. Looking for best practice on how to determine the covered roles in this type of setting.

Thanks!
