2 PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT PURPOSE: A physical examination is required for all staff to insure that staff is physically fit to perform the essential functions of the job and to determine that they are free of communicable diseases. POLICY: 1. New employees should complete a physical assessment prior to reporting to work. They must bring the signed physician's or other designated health professional s statement before they will be permitted to work. The form will be provided by the employer. 2. All employees, volunteers, interns, or students must have a completed physical exam upon hiring. A previous physical exam within six months prior to starting employment at YCS will be acceptable. A copy of the report must be placed in the employee s personnel file. 3. If at any time during employment, a physician indicates that an employee is unable to perform the essential functions of the job, or if there is reason to suspect the employee is putting others at risk due to a communicable disease, the employee will not be permitted to work in that position until further evaluation and clearance to work by a physician is obtained. Revised 9/2007 2
3 REPORTING EMPLOYEE INFECTIONS PURPOSE: To insure identification and follow-up of infections among employees, therefore minimizing the risk of transmission to others. POLICY: 1. Any employee having an infection is responsible for reporting it to their supervisor, who will report it to the Nurse. 2. The Nurse is responsible for completing and maintaining the employee infection record whenever an infection is reported. 3. The Nurse will follow the agency s policy on work restrictions for communicable diseases. Refer to Summary of Important Recommendations and Work Restrictions for Personnel with Infectious Diseases in this section for reference. However, the policy of obtaining a written clearance to return to work from a physician supersedes the recommendations. Work restrictions will be determined on an individual basis. 4. OSHA logs are maintained by the Human Resources Department. 5. Annual compilation of all illnesses and injury data is completed by the Human Resource Department. Revised 9/2007 3

8 HEPATITIS B IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM PURPOSE: To establish guidelines for employee screening for Hepatitis B immunity and vaccine administration. POLICY: 1. All YCS employees will be offered the Hepatitis B Vaccine free of cost. 2. Following a review of the disease and vaccine information, the employee will sign consent to receive the vaccine. (See "Information on Hepatitis B and the Vaccine".) 3. If an employee declines immunization, he/she will sign a statement to that effect (Refer to Section 5, Page 9 for the Policy for Hepatitis B Vaccine Form). The signed Policy for Hepatitis B Vaccine Form will be kept in the employee s record in the Human Resource Department. If the employee chooses to be immunized in the future, this procedure will be followed. 4. Three IM doses of vaccine will be given - the initial dose, at one month and at six months. The vaccine will be administered deep intramuscular in the deltoid muscle. 5. Should an exposure occur, the post-exposure algorithm will be followed. Revised 9/2007 8
9 POLICY FOR HEPATITIS B VACCINE The following statement regarding the Hepatitis B vaccination must be signed by all employees. The statement can only be signed by the employee following appropriate training regarding Hepatitis B vaccination, the efficacy, safety, method of administration and benefits of vaccination, and that the vaccine and vaccination are provided free of charge to the employee. I understand that due to my occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials, I may be at risk of acquiring Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The statement is not a waiver; employees can request and receive the Hepatitis B vaccination at a later date if they remain occupationally at risk for Hepatitis B. I have been given the opportunity to be vaccinated with Hepatitis B vaccine. I decline the Hepatitis B vaccination at this time. I wish to receive the Hepatitis B vaccination.

10 POST-EXPOSURE EVALUATION AND FOLLOW UP 1. Should a possible exposure to bloodborne pathogens occur, the Nurse Manager or Program Administrator/Director should be contacted. 2. Initial first aid and follow-up will be conducted by the site/program nurse. Following the initial first aid (clean the wound, flush eyes, or other mucous membrane, etc.), the following activities will be performed: Complete the YCS Exposure Incident Report. Document the route of exposure and how the exposure occurred. Obtain consent and make arrangements to have the source individual tested as soon as possible to determine HIV, HCV and HBV infectivity. If the source individual is already known to be HIV, HCV and/or HBV positive, new testing need not be performed. Assure that the exposed employee is provided with the source individual s test results and with information about applicable disclosure laws and regulations concerning the identity and infectious state of the source individual (e.g., laws protecting confidentiality). Inform employee that post-exposure prophylaxis is most effective if initiated within 24 hours of exposure from HIV. Arrangements for immediate evaluation at the nearest contracting facility or emergency room should be made within a 24 hour time frame if deemed necessary. After obtaining consent, collect exposed employee s blood as soon as feasible after the exposure incident, and test blood for HBV and HIV serological status, antibody to Hepatitis C, and ALT. If the employee does not give consent for HIV serological testing during collection of blood for baseline testing, preserve the baseline blood sample for at least 90 days; if the exposed employee elects to have the baseline sample testing during this waiting period, perform testing as soon as feasible. Employee who has suffered an incident of exposure will receive all medical evaluations, procedures, tests, and prophylaxis at no cost. The employee should be advised to seek medical attention for any illness that occurs within twelve weeks of exposure and should be provided counseling and medical Revised 9/
11 evaluation of reported illnesses. Following an exposure incident, the agency (YCS) will provide to the employee: a) Referral of employee b) A copy of the OSHA standard on bloodborne pathogens. c) A description of the exposed employee's duties as they relate to the exposure incident. d) Documentation of the route of exposure and circumstances under which exposure occurred. e) Results of the source individual's blood testing. f) Relevant medical records including vaccination status. Within fifteen days after evaluation of the exposed employee, YCS will provide the employee with a copy of the health care professional s written opinion. The written opinion is limited to whether the vaccine is indicated and if it has been received. The written opinion for post-exposure evaluation must document that the employee has been informed of the results of the medical evaluation and of any medical conditions resulting from the exposure incident that may require further evaluation or treatment. All other diagnoses must remain confidential and not be included in the written report. Revised 9/

Initial test 2. Discontinue employee follow-up unless further testing is requested by exposed employee. Unknown Source Exposed individuals: 1. Pre and Post Counseling 2. Signed Consent Forms 3. HIV antibody testing * immediately * six weeks * three months * six months after exposure 4. NOTE: Extended HIV follow-up for 12 months is recommended for HCPs who become infected with HCV after exposure to a source co-infected with HIV and HCV. 5. NOTE: The most recent recommendations for HIV exposure are very complex with a variety of choices for post-exposure prophylaxis. Therefore, the reader is referred to the current recommendations for HIV exposure found in the MMWR, VOL. 54(RR09); 1-17, Sept. 30, It can be accessed via the CDC web site: Post-exposure prophylaxis is most effective when initiated within 24 hours of HIV exposure.
