Mandatory Inservices

[CraigB-RN, MSN, RN]

There are a lot of "mandaotry" inservices. I'm trying to track down the actuall rules and regualtions that govern them. i.e. OSHA, CDC, JCAHO,CMS, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Here is another question about them....what can be used as consequences for not attending? We're unionized and there is no language about this.

some of the mandatory inservices (in NY anyway) are state mandatedfor employment and some are state mandated for licensure.

Same in fla. Domestic Violence and AIDS are mandatory for licensure. I believe the infection control and work environment is OSHA. I don't know that JCAHO requires any mandatory inservices, but they do pay attention to what the state and other regulatory agencies require.
