HS is bedtime and qhs is every bedtime. Depending on context, they might mean the same thing. If you're instructed to take a medication hs x30 days, you can assume that's qhs x30d.
qhs stands for Quaque Hora Somni (Latin: Every Bedtime). The abbreviation means "every night".
Being "OSHA certified" doesn't mean anything. In fact OSHA doesn't give certifications to anybody. It means you took a 10-30 hour safety course.
It is q.i.d or qds, which means to take the tablet 6 hourly or 4 times in a day
No. OSHA is a different agency and they are responsible for enforcing their own regulations. That does not mean that Medicare would not contact OSHA should they come upon an issue that comes under OSHA's jurisdiction.

PRN means "as needed." It stands for "pro re nata" which translates to "in the circumstances."It is routinely used by physicians in prescribing instructions to mean "as needed for." An example of such might include "Benadryl 50mg qhs prn insomnia."("qhs" is another Latin abbreviation, which stands for quaque hora somni, or "at the hour of sleep or bedtime.") Fortunately for patients, pharmacists are also familiar with these shorthand notations. Therefore, when used in medical situations, specifically for medications, it means that the medication is to be used only when needed, rather than on a consistent basis.
"Medication qhs" refers to a prescription or instruction for a patient to take their medication at bedtime. The term "qhs" is derived from Latin, meaning "quaque hora somni," which translates to "every night at bedtime." This timing is often chosen to optimize the medication's effectiveness or to minimize side effects that may interfere with daytime activities.
Total Recordable Incident Rate
OSHA does not define the word "accident" and does not use it in its regulations.
If an injury requires medical care (beyond first aid) it is an OSHA recordable. And I think you mean cauterized.
In the OSHA context, MSD usually means "musculo-skeletal disorder" and refers to an injury resulting form an ergonomic problem.
