How Illinois differs from the federal baseline

  • The Illinois Needlestick Safety Act requires healthcare employers to adopt the use of safety-engineered sharp devices and to involve non-managerial healthcare workers in evaluating and choosing those devices.
  • Illinois requires healthcare facilities to maintain a sharps injury log that includes details beyond the federal OSHA log requirements, including the brand and manufacturer of the device involved.
  • The Illinois Department of Public Health requires certain healthcare facilities to report occupational exposures as part of communicable disease surveillance.

Penalty Information

Federal OSHA penalties apply to private sector employers. Illinois OSHA (for public employers) can impose penalties up to $70,000 for willful violations. The Illinois Department of Public Health can take enforcement action for facility safety violations.

Illinois context

Illinois' Needlestick Safety Act was enacted to complement the federal Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act. Healthcare employers in Illinois must be aware of both the federal requirements and the state-specific provisions regarding device evaluation and worker involvement.
