Описание: 1. IntroductionThe introduction to the guide describes why it serves as a resource to be used by those with the greatest responsibility of all -- protecting one of our most valuable assets, healthcare personnel. Practical Guide users may include professionals with job functions or tasks in occupational or employee health and safety, infection prevention and control, biological safety, infectious disease, risk management, biological safety, and/or environmental health and safety in healthcare settings. The guide is meant to serve those with varying levels of experience in occupational health and/or occupational infection prevention. The introduction provides high-level information on how the guide serves as both background and fundamental information to help readers gain confidence as they ramp up in their roles. It highlights the tools, resources, and ideas that are new and ready to roll out or pass along. 2. Public Health SignificanceThis chapter discusses in detail why occupational exposure to infectious diseases in health care is an important public health issue. Since there are hundreds of microorganisms that can cause illness or infection in humans (pathogenic organisms), this chapter describes the highest prevalence organisms that affect healthcare workers. It provides a list and discussion for what microorganisms are most likely to cause occupational illness or infection in the working population. It also exposes the reader to provocative information about the healthcare environment, and vectors including contaminated hands, patient care items (e.g., blood pressure cuffs, stethoscopes), medical devices (e.g., IV infusion connectors, endoscopes, surgical instruments), and contaminated surfaces or textiles (e.g., uniforms, lab coats, sinks, toilets, bedrails, etc.). 3. Controlling & Preventing Occupational Illness & InfectionThe chapter sets the stage for a grounding in the critical elements in an occupational infection prevention and control plan. It describes important employee vaccination and immunization plans. The concepts of the industrial hygiene hierarchy of controls are introduced. The hierarchy is an evidence-based method to help readers build, design, and evaluate preventive strategies that provide the highest and most productive levels of protection. It also provides information on workers' rights, whistleblowing, and personnel-based opportunities for change. 4. MicrobiologyChapter 4 provides a background on the most epidemiologically important microbes likely to be an occupational exposure risk -- serving as a Microbiology 101 for non-microbiologists. It can be incorporated into new employee onboarding or annual refresher training. It describes how microorganisms propagate and transmit and why some microorganisms cause disease (are pathogenic). It provides control strategies to mitigate exposure risk for personnel, leadership, and the communities they serve. It also highlights the critical elements of Post-Exposure Prophylaxis and Antimicrobial Stewardship Plans. 5. Regulatory Compliance; OSHA StandardsThere are surprisingly few regulatory standards or laws that apply to occupational infection prevention and control. The bulk of the standards are promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This chapter provides in-depth information on the elements of OSHA Standards applicable to infectious disease in health care, including the Bloodborne Pathogens, Respiratory Protection, and Personal Protective Equipment Standards. It describes the essential components for compliance with OSHA standards and provides a foundation for complying with OSHA standards as it relates to inspections, citations, and fines. This chapter details how to comply and what resources to use for compliance assistance. It serves as the roadmap to

Описание: Environmental health is an area with significant developments and noteworthy challenges that expand into various disciplines: medicine and public health, sociology and communications, technology, policymaking, and legislation. Due to the massive amount of health-related issues, additional literature involving environmental health is required to improve the wellbeing of citizens worldwide. Environmental Exposures and Human Health Challenges provides interdisciplinary insights into concepts and theories related to environmental exposures and human health impacts via the air, water, soil, heavy metal exposure, and other chemical toxins. The book also addresses inequalities and environmental injustices in relation to environmental exposures and health impacts. Covering topics such as health policies, pollution effects, and heavy metal exposure, this publication is designed for public health professionals, preventive medicine specialists, clinicians, data scientists, environmentalists, academicians, practitioners, researchers, and students.
