OSH (Occupational Safety and Health) Inspection at Kenak Medika Hospital

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) inspections in the hospital environment are routine and strategic activities designed to ensure that all aspects of hospital operations comply with workplace safety standards and health protection. The primary objective of these inspections is to prevent workplace accidents, occupational diseases, and to guarantee the safety of patients, medical personnel, and visitors.

OSH inspections are carried out comprehensively, covering several key aspects, including the identification of potential hazards in work areas, review of personal protective equipment (PPE) conditions, inspection of fire protection systems such as fire extinguishers and evacuation routes, as well as evaluation of ventilation systems, lighting, and environmental hygiene.

In addition, the inspection team also evaluates compliance with safe work procedures, the implementation of OSH training for all employees, and the hospital’s preparedness in handling emergencies, including the presence of an emergency response team and evacuation drills.

During the inspection process, the OSH team conducts direct observations in various units such as the emergency department, inpatient wards, laboratories, pharmacy installations, nutrition kitchens, and medical waste areas. Any findings that may pose risks are documented and presented in the evaluation report, along with recommendations for corrective actions.

Through these OSH inspections, it is expected that a safe and healthy work culture can be established within the hospital environment, ensuring that the hospital not only serves as a place for healthcare services but also as a proper and protected workplace for all its personnel.
