It covers staff knowledge of SDS and chemical handling, labeling and storage, cleaning protocols for patient rooms, OR and IV areas, eyewash stations and logs, hallway and fire safety, equipment condition, infection prevention, and documentation retention. It also addresses regulated medical waste procedures, signage, weekly inspections, and training records, along with mask fit testing and departmental housekeeping standards. Use it to identify gaps and prepare for surveys.
