Shot, hand, and home are the keywords of the federal guidelines for employer preparation for the upcoming influenza season. Encourage vaccination among employees, focus on hand hygiene and workplace cleanliness, and make it easier for workers to stay home when sick and leave work should flu-like symptoms appear.
The guidelines and a communication toolkit for businesses and employers were jointly issued on August 19 by the Departments of Commerce, Homeland Security, Labor, and Health and Human Services.
For more details about the flu guidance for employers, see the post on OSHA Healthcare Advisor.
