[MCOH-EH] IV Chemotherapy and return to work

[Lesoski, Darryl]

SO SORRY for all my questions but they just keep popping up!! 😊


Here is a question from our administration staff:  I have a question and not sure if you can help me or not.  I have an employee who is getting IV chemo every 3 weeks, and she was told by her physician that she was safe to come back to work after that. I have staff questioning if that is true and asking to be trained on chem precautions. I reached out to HR and they thought you may be able to help.

Can anyone point me to a reliable source of information?  Do you have a policy in place that addresses this concern?  What approach do you take at your medical center?

Looking for voices of reason and sound expert advise which is why I turn to all of you!!!  THANKS ahead of time.

Darryl
