NAICS 622110: General Medical and Surgical Hospitals / Health Care and Social Assistance
This industry group comprises establishments known and licensed as general medical and surgical hospitals primarily engaged in providing diagnostic and medical treatment services that include physician, nursing, and other health services to inpatients.
Common workplace hazards include needlestick injuries and bloodborne pathogen exposure, musculoskeletal injuries from patient lifting and repositioning, and workplace violence from patients and visitors. Workers may also face risks from infectious disease exposure, hazardous drug handling, and slips and falls.
Healthcare employers must comply with OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), which requires an exposure control plan, universal precautions, engineering and work practice controls, personal protective equipment, hepatitis B vaccination for exposed workers, post-exposure evaluation and follow-up, employee training, and recordkeeping. The Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act further requires use of safer needle devices and involvement of frontline workers in device selection.
