Updated over 2 months ago

✅ Areas Typically Covered by Compliance Publishing

1. OSHA / Cal/OSHA Compliance

  • Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) training

  • Hazard Communication (GHS) training

  • General workplace safety and injury prevention modules

  • Likely includes Cal/OSHA IIPP templates and training

2. HIPAA Training

  • Comprehensive coverage of privacy and security awareness

  • For healthcare workers and business associates

3. Sexual Harassment Prevention (California SB 1343 & AB 1825)

  • Meets California's legal requirements:

    • 2 hours for supervisors

    • 1 hour for non-supervisory employees

    • Completion within six months of hire/promotion and every two years thereafter

4. General Compliance & Ethics Training

  • Modules to help healthcare providers understand regulatory risks and responsibilities

5. Documentation & Tracking

  • Strong system for maintaining training records, certificates, and audit logs


❌ Potential Gaps / Areas Not Fully Covered

1. Medical Waste Management Training (California-Specific)

  • While Compliance Publishing may offer general medical waste or OSHA hazard training, California's strict Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA) requires highly detailed, state-specific training for generators over 200 lbs/month.

  • PureWay Compliance, Inc. often supplements this with our own specialized medical waste training and consulting.

2. Mandated Reporter Training (California Health Professionals)

  • Compliance Publishing is not widely known to offer California-specific mandated reporter training, which is required for many healthcare professionals under Penal Code § 11165.7.

3. CPR, BLS, and ACLS Certification

  • Compliance Publishing does not offer clinical skill certifications like CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), BLS (Basic Life Support), or ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support).

  • These are typically provided by the American Heart Association or Red Cross.

4. Clinical Skills & Competency Training

  • Compliance Publishing is compliance-focused; it does not provide clinical procedure or competency verification training that is often required for licensing and credentialing of healthcare professionals.

5. DEA Controlled Substance Training

  • Specialized controlled substance handling and disposal (DEA compliance) for healthcare providers who manage controlled medications may not be fully addressed.
