Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: %% The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees such as, but not necessarily limited to, nurses, nursing assistants and respiratory therapists were exposed to the hazard of being infected by tuberculosis through repeated prolonged indoor contact with patients who may be infected with tuberculosis in that Vencor Hospital: (a) failed to prevent the spread of infectious droplet nuclei via source control methods. (b) failed to provide the above referenced employees with the Mantoux Purified Protein Derivative at intervals as recommended by the Center for Disease Control Guidelines for Preventing the Transmission of Tuberculosis for Health Care Settings, With Special Focus on HIV-Related Issues, December 7, 1990/Vol. 39/No. RR-17. Feasible and useful abatement methods for reducing this hazard as recommeded by the Center for Disease Control, among others are: 1.
