Waste Anesthesia Gases (WAG) Course

$35.00

Waste Anesthesia Gases (WAG) are the gases that escape into the environment during medical procedures involving anesthesia. These gases include both the anesthetic agents used to sedate patients and the carrier gases that deliver these agents. Common anesthetic gases include nitrous oxide, isoflurane, sevoflurane, and desflurane. Carrier gases typically include oxygen or a mixture of oxygen and other gases such as air or nitrogen.

This course will explore the essential aspects of Waste Anesthesia Gases including:

  • Explain what Waste Anesthesia Gases are
  • Outline the health risks associated with WAG exposure
  • Review regulatory guidelines and risks related to WAG
  • Detail administrative and engineering controls for managing WAG
  • Identify the personal protective equipment required for WAG environments
  • Provide emergency procedures for WAG exposure

 

On-Site Consulting Services Available

Along with your on-site full service program, you’ll receive all the compliance components you need to be OSHA and HIPAA compliant. You have access to online training for new hires or those that missed any on-site training. 

What to expect when we visit: Your TMC consultant will go through your facility and do a thorough facility audit with an electronic report, go over the Compliance manual, and provide on-site training. 

For our OSHA clients, we provide you with a complimentary spill kit, secondary labels, and meet with your Safety Officer and review their duties.

For HIPAA clients, your facility audit will identify any privacy and security concerns, we’ll provide you with a risk analysis report for your facility, and we’ll meet with your Privacy/Security Officer to review their duties. 

Whether you choose us for OSHA, HIPAA, or both, we will work with you to achieve compliance to create a long-lasting relationship rather than just providing a how-to guide leaving you to do all the work. Our goal is to be your primary resource for HIPAA, OSHA, and Infection Control compliance.
