I had a call with Cal/Osha last year regarding this topic and they told me that because medications are prescribed it meets the criteria and should be recorded.

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,

 

Cathreen
