OSHA Fact Sheets

Before you can work as a Standardized Patient at the Mt. Sinai Skills and Simulation Center, you are required to read the 3 OSHA fact sheets (listed below), and sign that you have read, and understand the documents.

The OSHA fact sheets are listed below because sharps containers will be present in the Sim Center, but rest assured that the sharps (needles, scalpels, etc.) will never be used on SPs.

We require you to read the forms and acknowledge that you are aware that you might see sharps containers in the Sim Center.
