[MCOH-EH] exposure tracking

[Hudson, T. Warner]

Our BBP RNs see exposed employees, volunteers, trainees and students and complete detailed paperwork.  We keep track in a legacy system the nurses enter data into for BBPs we inherited from Infection Prevention many years ago.  We have looked at Epinet but not using it as fields are not customizable and things we want to track it does not have.  We are creating templates for SYSTOC for BBPs but are not off paper yet.

Do you complete paper form and then do data entry ? Who does the data entry?  Are you able to generate OSHA log and 301 form electronically from your entered data?

Thanks!

We use Epinet for reporting BBP exposures. I don’t have any problems with it. Not sure what feedback specifically you’re wanting.

Does anyone participate in EpiNet for bloodborne pathogen exposure documentation and tracking?  If so, I would appreciate any feedback you have about the system?

Before and in addition to worker's compensation, CalOSHA requires employers to prevent exposure and to provide medical services after an exposure to airborne or droplet (aerosol) spread infectious diseases, under the 2009 Aerosol Transmissible Diseases (ATD) standard  https://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/5199.html<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dir.ca.gov%2Ftitle8%2F5199.html&data=01%7C01%7Ctwhudson%40mednet.ucla.edu%7C34be9d65ecde4b130f6308d445e06f98%7C39c3716b64714fd5ac04a7dbaa32782b%7C0&sdata=gzJjOeTBliwEoNkmASoki2DxKcAoCxo4m1%2FNjZwShOI%3D&reserved=0>

California passed the first occupational standard in the nation to prevent worker illness from infectious diseases that can be transmitted by inhaling air that contains viruses, bacteria or other disease organisms. The Cal/OSHA Aerosol Transmissible Diseases standard was designed to make recommended public health practices in infection control legally enforceable. It applies to workplaces at high risk for infectious diseases such as hospitals, clinics, emergency medical services, laboratories, prisons and homeless shelters.

Employer requirements include written aerosol transmissible disease exposure control procedures, infection control measures, employee training, medical services and recordkeeping. Where engineering and work practice controls do not provide adequate protection, the standard requires that respiratory protection be used to protect workersperforming certain tasks from exposure to aerosol transmissible diseases.

List,
Can I ask how your health systems handle employee exposures to influenza, pertussis etc.? Are the post-exposure prophylaxis medications covered under workers’ comp or by the employees’ personal insurance? What about when an employee becomes symptomatic as a result of such exposure?  Thank you in advance for your input.
