Medical practices are often seen as relatively manageable work environments. Nevertheless, numerous occupational health and safety requirements apply here: handling of biological agents, needlestick injuries, hazardous substances in disinfectants, ergonomic aspects at reception and treatment chair, and psychological stress from appointment and emergency situations. FUTUROSALUD supports medical practices in implementing these requirements systematically and pragmatically.
A central tool is the Risk assessment. In medical practices, physical, biological and psychological hazards must be considered. FUTUROSALUD provides structured templates aligned with typical workflows: registration, consulting room, laboratory, reprocessing of medical devices and administration. This allows step-by-step identification of existing risks and of measures already implemented or still planned.
Building on this, training and instruction are designed to reflect staff daily practice. Instead of generic presentations, concrete situations are emphasised: safe handling of needles, correct behaviour when spilling sample material, ergonomic work at VDU workplaces, or dealing with aggressive patients. Content is documented in a legally sound manner so that practice owners can meet their proof obligations.
FUTUROSALUD combines this expertise with clear organisational structures. Occupational safety tasks are clearly assigned; follow-ups and review dates are mapped in the FUTUROSALUD ASI Manager. This creates a system that remains robust even when staff are absent or the practice grows. Practice owners gain transparency and can present to trade associations or authorities how they meet their duties.
By focusing on small and medium-sized medical facilities, FUTUROSALUD knows the typical constraints of daily practice. The aim is to shape occupational safety so that it supports healthcare rather than hindering it. With clear processes, understandable documentation and a digital platform, occupational safety in medical practices becomes a manageable part of quality management.
