[MCOH-EH] Pepper Spray Gel

[Subin, Kenneth MD]

List,

 

Our medical facility has just approved the use of Pepper Spray Gel
(oleoresin capsicum) for our safety and security employees.  They will
begin training which will include team member exposures to the spray so
they are familiar with the effects.  They have asked me to determine
what, if any, pre-exposure examinations should be performed for the
employees.  Does anyone have protocols for examinations or any
experience from an employee health perspective?

 

Thanks in advance for your feedback...

 

Ken
