OSHA and state counterparts are stepping up their inspection of all health care facilities including ASCs. They reach beyond infection control to employee ergonomics, hazardous gases and safe lifting practices. OSHA does not wait for a complaint; they have inspectors in the field every day reviewing heath care facilities and plan to do more.
