While cases of Ebola exposure are currently limited to certain parts of the mainland, Hawaii employers are nonetheless taking the time to evaluate workplace safety and exposure protocol.  Early consideration of these issues will ensure that employers are prepared to protect employees from exposure to both the Ebola virus and to harmful levels of chemicals used for cleaning and disinfection associated with potential exposure.  The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued a fact sheet on how employers in non-healthcare and non-laboratory workplaces can minimize the risk of Ebola exposure in the workplace through cleaning and decontamination protocol.  Such protocol includes training employees on methods for isolating and cleaning work areas with suspected Ebola contamination.  Training should include the proper use of EPA-registered disinfectant suitable for non-enveloped viruses, as well as donning and doffing appropriate personal protective equipment.  For more information, OSHA has a webpage on the Ebola virus with tips on hazard recognition, control and prevention.
