New guidance for protecting employees against avian flu unveiled

OSHA has issued a handbook that provides a general overview of how employers can protect employees against avian flu.

The Guidance, OSHA 3323-10N 2006, is designed to serve two purposes: (1) to provide guidance on health protection to employers whose employees may be exposed to avian influenza (AI) viruses; and (2) to provide technical information (in appendices) about AI viruses and, in particular, about H5N1, an AI virus currently circulating in Asia, Europe and Africa that rarely causes disease in humans but when it does the case fatality rate is high. This document updates guidance on avian flu issued by OSHA in March 2004. It is advisory in nature and informational in content.
