The Aureus Safety Training Program
From lifting patients and equipment to working with hazardous substances, healthcare professionals face special risks in their work environments. At Aureus, we’re dedicated to helping our nurses, technologists, and other employees stay safe and healthy.

We’ve developed a thorough Safety Training Program for all of our healthcare employees. The program meets all current OSHA standards and is administered to Aureus Medical employees when they join the company, before they go on assignments.

Expressing Safety Concerns


 
Should you ever have concerns about safety or patient care standards in any of the facilities to which you are assigned, or observe what you believe to be unsafe practices, promptly contact your client supervisor and Aureus to review and follow-up on your observations and/or concerns. As an employee of Aureus, you should feel free to report concerns about the safety and quality of care provided in healthcare facilities to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations without any fear of adverse consequences or disciplinary action by Aureus. Contact information for JCAHO is as follows:

The Joint Commission
