Occupational health care programs for laboratory workers are designed to promote and maintain the health and safety of employees working in laboratories. These programs typically include measures to prevent exposure to hazardous chemicals, biological agents, and other potential hazards in the workplace. They may also provide medical monitoring, training on safe work practices, and obtain personal protective equipment.
Some key components of occupational health care programs for laboratory workers may include:
Chemical safety and risk communication training
Proper use of personal protective equipment
Regular health monitoring and medical monitoring
Emergency response and spill control procedures
Periodic evaluations and recommendations
Vaccinating workers with appropriate vaccinations (hepatitis B virus - seasonal influenza)
Examination of workers in the tuberculosis laboratory (direct examination - chest examination)
Laboratory workers are examined periodically (complete blood count - hepatitis B and C viruses - HIV)
