OSHA QuickTips
Ticks can be more than just a nuisance to
those who work outside - they can cause serious illnesses,
including Lyme
Disease. Workers in the construction, landscaping, forestry, farming, railroad,
oil field, park
and wildlife management, and utility industries - to name a few
- are at increased risk of tick-related and
other outdoor hazards. OSHA has
resource information on these potential hazards and how to prevent
them in the "Working
Outdoors in Warm Climates" fact sheet. More
information is available in the Safety
and Health Information Bulletin: "Potential
for Occupational Exposure to Lyme Disease."
OSHA issued worker safety and
health guidance for H1N1 flu, including fact sheets on "What Employers Can Do to
Protect Workers from Pandemic Influenza" (English/Spanish),
"Respiratory Infection Control: Respirators Versus
Surgical Masks" (English/Spanish),
and "Healthcare Workplaces Classified as Very High or High Exposure Risk
for
Pandemic Influenza" (English/Spanish).
QuickCards™ were also released on "Pandemic Flu
Respiratory
Protection" (English/Spanish)
and "How to Protect Yourself in the Workplace during a Pandemic" (English/Spanish).
