Course Overview

This comprehensive Healthcare Central Supply Safety training program provides participants with essential knowledge and practical skills required for working safely in central sterile supply and central supply departments. The program covers fundamental safety principles along with specialized techniques for managing unique hazards associated with medical equipment sterilization, instrument processing, and supply preparation operations.


Participants will learn to apply OSHA regulations including 29 CFR 1910.1030 Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 Hazard Communication Standard, and general industry safety standards to create safer central supply environments. This program combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications addressing specific hazards including exposure to sterilizing agents such as glutaraldehyde, ethylene oxide, and mercury, along with ergonomic risks and slip hazards while emphasizing infection control and worker protection throughout the supply chain.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Understand OSHA regulations applicable to central supply operations

  • Implement comprehensive bloodborne pathogens exposure control programs

  • Identify and control hazardous chemicals used in sterilization processes

  • Apply safe handling procedures for glutaraldehyde, ethylene oxide, and mercury

  • Develop latex allergy prevention strategies and substitution programs

  • Apply ergonomic principles to prevent musculoskeletal injuries

  • Implement slip, trip, and fall prevention measures in supply areas

  • Recognize and control common hospital hazards in central supply settings

Gained Core Technical Skills

  • Latex allergy prevention and management per 29 CFR 1910.1200 (Hazard Communication Standard), including Type I hypersensitivity reactions, protein sensitization mechanisms, powder-free glove selection protocols, and medical surveillance programs for central supply personnel handling sterile products.

  • Hazardous chemical safety programs per 29 CFR 1910.1200 and 29 CFR 1910.1450 (Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories), including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) interpretation, chemical inventory management systems, exposure control hierarchies, and emergency spill response procedures for sterilization chemicals.

  • Glutaraldehyde exposure control per 29 CFR 1910.1000 (Air Contaminants), including high-level disinfection procedures for medical instruments, engineering controls for vapor containment during cold sterilization, personal protective equipment selection for chemical handling, and administrative controls for extended soak processes in central supply departments.

  • Mercury safety and spill management per 29 CFR 1910.1000, including mercury-containing medical device identification, vapor exposure monitoring protocols, spill containment and cleanup procedures using specialized equipment, and proper disposal methods for thermometers and sphygmomanometers in healthcare facilities.

  • Ethylene oxide sterilization safety per 29 CFR 1910.1047 (Ethylene Oxide Standard), including EtO sterilization cycle parameters, environmental monitoring and exposure assessment, aeration chamber protocols, and engineering controls for gas sterilization equipment in sterile processing departments.

  • Bloodborne pathogen exposure control per 29 CFR 1910.1030, including Universal Precautions during instrument reprocessing, sharps handling protocols for contaminated surgical instruments, exposure control plan implementation, and post-exposure prophylaxis procedures for central supply staff.

  • Common hospital hazards recognition per 29 CFR 1910 General Industry Standards, including physical hazards in sterile processing areas, chemical exposure risks during instrument decontamination, mechanical hazards from autoclaves and sterilizers, and environmental hazards in supply storage and distribution areas.

  • Ergonomic injury prevention per 29 CFR 1910 General Duty Clause, including manual handling techniques for instrument trays and supply carts, workstation design for decontamination and assembly areas, repetitive motion injury prevention during instrument inspection, and mechanical assist device utilization for heavy equipment handling.

  • Slip, trip, and fall prevention per 29 CFR 1910.22 (Walking-Working Surfaces), including wet floor management during decontamination processes, proper housekeeping in sterile processing areas, spill containment protocols for sterilization fluids, and safe material handling practices in supply distribution zones.
