Report Link Preventing Pandemics in the Workplace: Cal/OSHA's New Regulations on Aerosol Transmissible Diseases and What They Mean for Certain Employers.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - July 31, 2009 Cal/OSHA's proposed standard on aerosol transmissible diseases (ATDs), such as tuberculosis, SARS, measles, or pandemic flu, was approved by the Office of Administrative Law on July 7, 2009, and became the first such regulation in the country.1 The new standard, effective August 5, 2009, applies mainly to facilities in the health care industry and to specific other operations where employees may come into contact with certain types of aerosol transmissible diseases, such as correctional facilities, homeless shelters, drug treatment programs, and pathology laboratories. The regulation aims to protect against the spread of certain aerosol transmissible diseases, and requires that covered employers take precautionary measures to avoid their transmission. A complete list of the diseases is found in Appendix A of the standard. In addition, another regulation sets forth a zoonotics standard, applicable to facilities or operations that handle animals or animal byproducts (not including restaurants or other businesses for which the animals are only handled for human consumption and that have passed a USDA or CDFA inspection as such).
