Build the Program That Protects Your Workers — Before OSHA Asks to See It
The Bloodborne Pathogens Standard has been the most cited OSHA standard in health care for three decades. The forms have been collected, the citations have been issued, and the penalties have been paid — by organizations that thought they were compliant. This book gives you the legal framework, the practical tools, and the ready-to-use forms to build a genuine compliance program. Every chapter is fully written. Every form is complete. Every template is ready to customize.
This publication is designed to provide accurate and authoritative information regarding the subject matter covered. It is sold with the understanding that the author is not engaged in rendering legal, accounting, or other professional services. If legal advice or other expert assistance is required, the services of a competent professional should be sought. All penalty amounts reflect OSHA’s 2026 penalty schedule.
Creating an OSHA Workplace Safety Program by John Fisher, health care attorney and experienced OSHA compliance counsel, fills a critical gap in employer-focused legal literature. Unlike generic compliance handbooks written from a regulatory perspective, this book is written from the trenches — by a lawyer who has sat across the table from OSHA compliance officers, drafted written safety programs that survive inspections, and counseled employers through the stressful, high-stakes process of citation response and informal conference negotiation.
Across 12 carefully structured chapters, Fisher walks employers, HR professionals, safety officers, and operations managers through every phase of OSHA compliance: understanding the General Duty Clause, identifying covered hazards, building a legally defensible written safety program, conducting effective internal audits, training employees, and managing the inspection process from the first knock at the door through final resolution. A dedicated chapter addresses the rapidly growing OSHA enforcement focus on healthcare employers — a sector facing unique hazards from workplace violence, bloodborne pathogens, ergonomic injuries, and respiratory threats.
Whether you are building a safety program from scratch or stress-testing one already in place, this book is your authoritative guide. Do not wait for OSHA to knock. Build the program that protects your business before they do.
Five practical appendix tools accompany the text, giving readers immediately deployable resources: model program templates, inspection response protocols, recordkeeping forms, training documentation checklists, and a citation penalty calculation guide updated to reflect 2026 enforcement levels.
