Federal Government Publishes Swine Flu Guidelines at WWW.FLU.GOV
In May, we blogged about the California Department of Industrial Relations Guidelines for Employers on the Swine Flu epidemic. Click here for earlier blog.
Since that time, the California DIR has updated their information. The most updated information form the California DIR and Cal-OSHA is available here:
http://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/SwineFlu/Cal-oshaguidanceswineflu.pdf
The California information is helpful, but for those that really need to study the option on what type of practices and policies to implement as the fall and winter flu season approaches, we recommend that you go to www.flu.gov. The Federal Government and Center for Disease Control have put together this website to act as one-stop access to all U.S. Government H1N1, avian and pandemic flu information. The information there is very extensive and includes information for employers, educational institutions and other organizations that will have issues related to the H1N1 flu and related illnesses. This website will be updated regularly and we advise anyone with questions about this topic to review the information available on this website.
