February 5, 2018
The U.S. Department of Labor Cites Colorado Nursing Home $9,054 for Workplace Violence Hazards
OSHA has cited Pioneer Health Care Center of Rocky Ford for not protecting employees from violence in the workplace.
OSHA opened an investigation at Pioneer Health Care Center in response to two complaints related to workplace violence received back in August of 2017. OSHA subsequently identified five documented incidents of workplace violence in 2017 that resulted in employee injuries along with many unreported incidents. OSHA had issued one serious citation for failing to implement adequate measures to protect employees from workplace violence hazards
“Employers are responsible for providing employees a safe and healthy workplace,” said OSHA’s Englewood Area Director David Nelson. “Pioneer Health Care Center must understand that their employees’ safety is important.”
Blood borne Pathogens Training Online is available to all Health Care Centers.

Company
"Over 200 employees throughout our offices are required to complete Blood borne Pathogen Certification annually. Employee availability and scheduling conflicts made it nearly impossible to schedule an onsite class. We were pleased to learn that our OSHA requirements can be satisfied online. Looking forward to the ease of use next year." Mary M., Cardinal Health
