Thanks so much, I am going to call. I don't think it is the safest place to work, not due to the fire hazards and blocked halls only, but also because of the regs that are broken every day. I don't want to be in there when the long arm comes down on them. Ooooff. :uhoh21: thanks all

I too am amazed at how management can continually break osha regs and and other regs and just keep on going. I'd be scared to death. They would build a new jail just for me - jeepers. Thanks to everyone for the advice - I do think I need to call. It's terrible around there. People let their kids (and their friends) and other family members hang out in their offices with access to the patient's personal files and records. Like I said it all scares me. It is a very haphazard environment, as far as regs go. I have seen ppl come and get records without signing release forms, and I was even once told by the manager to fax someones records to this unknown number, just because someone called and said he was the patient's lawyer and needed them right then. I made the manager sign the fax sheet stating that I did it per her. But I still didn't like it, because I knew better. The "lawyer" could have been anyone. Anyway - I would like to just be able to DO MY JOB. Novel idea. Thanks again all - have a great shift (and rest of the day too!!):balloons:

Hi all - I live and work in Eastern Tennessee, close to Chattanooga. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I noticed behind quite a few desks in the office where I work, there are BUNDLES of cords, wires, surge protectors, not to mention TRASH that has piled up forever. It's scary. :angryfire AND I have yet to hear or see anything about OSHA. The halls are full of boxes and things, and I could not even begin to tell you where a fire extinguisher is. I asked our office manager about OSHA and where the book was a so forth, and I was brushed off saying that I wasn't to worry about it. Ummm, not worry about it?? Who is she kiddin'?? - What should I do?? I have asked not only her but several others who are "in charge" about fixing these problems, and it keeps getting pushed under the rug. Any ideas? :chair: help.
