[MCOH-EH] potential Pertussis exposure

[Therese Bovee-McKelvey]

We require diagnosis then interview and provide prophylaxis as appropriate.  This would not be OSHA reportable as there is no injury or disease that resulted from exposure.  If they develop disease after then would be reportable and worker's comp issue.

Hello,

Can you please tell me how you would handle a pertussis or Meningitis exposure.
If the employees are treated with prophylaxis, would you report to W/C?  Or go on OSHA log as recordable?


Thank you in advance,
