[MCOH-EH] USP 800 Basic Question

[Thanassi, Wendy]

Palo Alto VA is only doing surveillance and examinations of spills/accidents.

Of note, Dr. Keifer in Seattle VA built a really nice questionnaire tool for those who might be asking these questions.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [MCOH-EH] USP 800 Basic Question

I am a little embarrassed to ask the following question about USP 800. Our Occ Health dept has not had a robust presence in our institution's planning.  Our institution determined that the surveillance component is optional and we plan a fairly superficial incorporation of this element.  Have other institutions determined that the surveillance portion is not a required element?  At this point, our role will mostly be managing drug exposures when they occur.

Thanks for any input or advice!  Best, Tim
