Occupational health and safety management — Guidelines for organizations on preventing, controlling and managing infectious diseases

This document gives guidelines for organizations on how to prevent or control exposure to infectious agents at the workplace and manage the risks associated with infectious diseases that: — present a risk of severe ill health or death and can impact the health, safety and well-being of workers and other relevant interested parties; — present a lower risk to health yet have a significant impact on the organization, its workers and other relevant interested parties. This document is applicable to organizations of all sizes and sectors. NOTE This document does not provide comprehensive guidance to those parts of an organization that implement mandated infection controls such as hospitals and medical or biological laboratories because there is an inherent potential for exposure to infectious diseases. Applicable legislation and guidance are provided by government, regulators and health authorities for specific infection controls for the protection of workers in such settings and for work activities on or with pathogenic microorganisms.

Sistem vodenja varnosti in zdravja pri delu - Smernice organizacijam za preprečevanje in obvladovanje nalezljivih bolezni

Ta dokument podaja smernice za organizacije, kako preprečiti izpostavljenost nalezljivim boleznim in obvladovati tveganja povezanih z njimi, ki: – predstavljajo tveganje hude bolezni ali smrti in lahko vplivajo na zdravje, varnost in dobro počutje delavcev in zadevnih zainteresiranih strani; – predstavljajo manjše tveganje za zdravje, vendar pa imajo pomemben vpliv na organizacijo, njene delavce in zadevne zainteresirane strani. Ta dokument se uporablja za organizacije vseh velikosti in z vseh sektorjev. Opomba: Vladni organi, regulatorji in zdravstveni organi določajo veljavno zakonodajo za obvladovanje posebnih nalezljivih bolezni za zaščito delavcev v kliničnem okolju in drugih zdravstvenih ustanovah in za dejavnosti dela s patogenimi mikroorganizmi.
