General-duty citation text
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 of likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to: (a) Health Care Workers and other affected workers employed by Ambassador Nursing Center were exposed the hazards of being in- fected by Hepatitis B Virus (HIV) through possible contact with blood or other body fluids. Health Care Workers potentially ex- posed include but are not limited to registered nursed, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants and housekeeping staff. Feasible abatement methods for reducing this hazard include but are not limited to the following: (1) Implementing a policy that identified all employees at a substantial risk of being exposed to blood or body fluids relative to other workers, and addresses all circum- stances warranting Hepatitis B vaccinations. Such employ- ees shall be informed about circumstances warranting such vaccinations, and shall be offered the Hepatitis B vaccina- tion, free of charge, and in amounts and at times pre- scribed by medical practice. (2) Include in the policy follow-up procedures after possible exposure to HIV that includes HIV testing for the health- care worker. If the patient that the worker was exposed to does not consent to HIV testing, or if the patient tests positive, the worker shall be evaluated clinically and shall undergo HIV antibody testing as soon as possible. The worker shall be advised to report any acute febrile illness that occurs within 12 weeks of exposure and shall be advised to seek medical evaluation of such illness. HIV seronegative workers shall be retested 6 weeks after exposure and on a periodic basis thereafter (recommended intervals of 12 weeks and 6 months after reported exposure). Follow-up procedures after possible exposure to HBV shall depend on the immunization status of the worker and the HBV serologic status of the source patient. The CDC Morbidity and Mortality Report, June 7, 1985, may be consulted for recommendations on post exposure prophylaxis.
