Should front office and administrative staff, including receptionists, be OSHA trained?
Front office and administrative staff including receptionists must be OSHA trained. However, if they are not exposed to bloodborne pathogens (BBP) and hazardous chemicals, they do not have to go through Bloodborne Pathogen and Hazard Communication training. There are general industry standards that the front office staff must become familiar with including OSHA's workplace violence prevention, electrical and fire prevention, means of egress, emergency action plan, and others.
