We often get asked "Where do I find that?"
So to answer those questions, we've compiled these Suggested Sources Sheets for the things that are often needed in a veterinary hospital's safety program. Some of the sheets are in Adobe PDF format so you must have the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view or print the sheets. Some files are in Microsoft Word format so you must have a compatible word processor to view or edit these files.

OSHA does not "certify" or "approve" any devices or equipment. Companies that purport to have "OSHA Certified" or "OSHA Approved" items probably mean that they believe their products will meet OSHA's rules. However, there is no guarantee that such products will be applicable for specific situations. It is the employer's responsibility to choose devices that are applicable to both the rules and to their unique workplace.
