Frequently Asked Questions

A comprehensive compliance assessment reviews four areas: OSHA workplace safety (written programs, training records, PPE, emergency procedures), HIPAA privacy and security (risk analysis, policies, training, safeguards), medical waste management (segregation, storage, manifesting, hauler compliance), and training/certification status (current certificates, gaps, expiration dates). BayArea Compliance's assessment is free and takes 2-3 hours on-site.

An initial compliance assessment typically takes 2-3 hours on-site for a small to mid-size practice. This includes a facility walkthrough, documentation review, staff interviews, and waste stream audit. You'll receive a written report within 5 business days identifying gaps, risk levels, and recommended corrective actions.

Finding violations during a voluntary assessment is actually the best-case scenario, it means you can fix them before an inspector finds them. Your assessment report will prioritize findings by risk level (critical, moderate, low) with specific corrective actions. If you become a COMPLIANCE|360 client, we implement all corrective actions as part of your onboarding.

Yes. The initial compliance assessment is completely free with no obligation. We use the assessment to understand your facility's specific needs and show you exactly where your gaps are. Whether you become a client or not, you keep the written report and can use it to improve your compliance on your own.

A compliance assessment is broader, it covers OSHA, HIPAA, waste management, and training across all regulatory areas. A mock OSHA inspection focuses specifically on what an OSHA compliance officer would look for during an actual inspection. COMPLIANCE|360 clients receive both: an initial comprehensive assessment plus annual mock OSHA inspections.
