OSHA to pursue heightened inspections in healthcare facilities handling COVID patients

On March 8, 2022, federal OSHA issued an enforcement memorandum announcing a short-term increase in inspections of hospitals and nursing care facilities that treat COVID patients. OSHA’s stated goal is to ensure continued mitigation efforts to control the spread of COVID and its variants, particularly with respect to healthcare workers at increased risk of contracting the virus.
To this end, OSHA is initiating focused inspections to monitor current and future readiness to protect workers from COVID. Subsequent inspections will be conducted at sites for which citations were previously issued, and at sites for which complaints were received but OSHA did not conduct in-person inspections.
OSHA’s targeting of such “high-hazard” healthcare facilities will run from March 9 to June 9, 2022. This initiative and the revised COVID National Emphasis Program is expected to comprise 15 percent of OSHA’s enforcement efforts.
