Answers will vary but should include the following points:
The person charged with this responsibility would be taking the following actions in this role:
 Constant review of hazardous materials, infection-control policies, and other office-safety procedures and protocols
 Preparation of a manual or plan, including a hazardous materials log, employee exposures, etc.
 Making sure all employees have received the hepatitis B vaccine at no charge to them
 Maintaining items to protect staff as required by the government (gloves, masks, etc.)
 Documenting waste-disposal requirements
 Maintaining visible exit signs in the case of an emergency
These are very important duties to any medical office or facility. Not following safety regulations is not only against the law, it also endangers both patients and staff.
