Hi, thanks very much.  Your address suggests you are a NIOSH user, not a direct health care practitioner / employee.  Who are your stakholders?

 

So it would be really interesting, given our staffing issues, to get comments and suggestions back.  I can argue for leaving this up if there’s a groundswell.  We had created a home health care e-tool and were about to put it up but saw some problems with the old pages.  If those of you who recognize problems with the pages point them out, we can likely do something…

Please do not remove the Hospital eTool...I agree it needs updating but based on my stakeholders it is widely used!

Interesting that this is considered still useful. There are some pretty outdated pieces and we were thinking of taking it down.  Does this group think it’s still worth keeping?

Look at the blood borne pathogen exposure regulation. I use the hospital etool…. It helps you find specifics faster.

Can anyone direct me where I can find the OSHA regulation pertaining to the Duty to ensure privacy of employees exposed to blood and body fluid.  I know some facility use psuedo names in order to protect their employees privacy when the test are done in their facility.  I want to do this, however our lab is not agreeable as they are not sure how to register the employee and keep everything straight.   The lab informed me that they checked the state regulations (we are in PA) and there is nothing that says we must give psuedo names.  Therefore , I am looking for any information that would assist my mission to provide privacy to our employees.  I thought there was an OSHA regulation if the test was done within the facility such as the rapid HIV suds test that we could not use their name.  Can anyone direct me on this?
