Baltimore occupational health plans are crucial for employers to maintain a healthy and safe workplace and remain compliant under workplace occupational health regulations. Baltimore employers are responsible for ensuring the safety and health of their workers by supplying safe equipment, identifying and eliminating work hazards, and providing proper training. Baltimore occupational health services include respiratory health exams, tuberculosis (TB) skin tests and screenings, employment physicals, vision and hearing screening, vaccinations, and titer testing (antibody testing).
Baltimore occupational health is part of the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) Act, which provides regulations to employers with more than 11 employees, with some exceptions. MOSH keeps records of job-related fatalities, accidents, and injuries in Baltimore and the state of Maryland. Information obtained by MOSH must be maintained on OSHA 300, OSHA 300A, and the OSHA 301 forms. The compliance unit of MOSH is responsible for ensuring that employees remain compliant with MOSH regulations to maintain a safe and healthy workplace. MOSH has adopted many federal OSHA standards for general industry, construction, and agriculture, but has supplemented these regulations with requirements for Maryland.
The Maryland Occupational Health and Safety Surveillance Project (OHSSP) is funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The project collects statistics and indicators on occupational illness and injury rates in Baltimore and the state of Maryland, collects reports from healthcare providers who treat patients with work-related illnesses and injuries and provides assistance to MOSH.
