OSHA Compliance/Training

By: David Hall - Senior Field Consultant of Regulatory Support Services

This presentation presents the annual OSHA required training elements on blood borne pathogens and hazardous communication for formaldehyde as well as revisions to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard.  Also included for this presentation is a section that focuses on the annual Needlestick Safety requirements. The presentation utilizes OSHA standards, the workplace safety program, personal protective equipment and work practices and engineering controls to remove or minimize the risk of exposure, injury, and illness.

Bio: Regulatory Support Services was founded in 1994 to assist funeral homes with OSHA compliance. Shortly following our founding, services were expanded to include compliance assistance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Funeral Rule as well as state’s funeral laws and regulations. Along the way, several dental and medical clients joined our client family.

 As a former longtime instructor, as well as chair of the funeral service education department at Fayetteville Technical Community College, David is a wonderful presenter and brings a wealth of knowledge to any setting.

David has been a licensed funeral director and embalmer since 1981. After earning his bachelor’s degree, he began a teaching career at Fayetteville Technical Community College which spanned 28 years. There he taught Funeral Law & Ethics; Funeral Directing Management; Funeral Merchandising; Funeral History and Restorative Arts in addition to clinical embalming and pathology. In 2015, he became an inspector for the North Carolina Board of Funeral Service. In 2018, David joined Regulatory Support Services as a compliance consultant. On a personal level, David has served his church – St. Paul’s Episcopal Church – where he sings in the choir and is serving as Senior Warden. He lives on 25 acres and is an “unapologetic car freak.” He collects cars including old 4-door limousines, high-top ambulances, and side-service hearses which are coveted! David’s other interests include antique key-wound clocks, old fountain pens, and basically, any and all vintage funeral paraphernalia.
