N95 Mask Fit Testing
Please ensure you are fit tested for a make and model that is located at the site you will be working. All major facilities provide mask fit testing; please inquire when you arrive.
Blood and Body Fluid Exposures
If you have an exposure to blood or a body fluid (BBFE) please notify the manager/supervisor of the unit where you are working so that the correct process can be implemented at that site-including being seen in the closest Emergency Department (ED) within two hours of the BBFE. You will need to contact the WHCC after being seen in ED to report the BBFE incident and to talk to the WHCC OHNs so that follow up serology can be provided and so that you will not be billed for the ED visit.
Exposure to a Communicable Disease or Incident
You will need to contact the WHCC (1-866-922-9464) if you have been exposed to any communicable disease or have had an incident at work.
