The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued citations against hospitals and healthcare systems in New Jersey and Louisiana for failing to safeguard its employees with the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during the coronavirus pandemic. OSHA also said it would issue fines against Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, Hackensack Meridian Health and Christus Shreveport-Bossier Health System. These citations are examples of a bigger issue of a rise in unsafe workplace claims by health care providers.
