What happens if I've been exposed?

All exposed employees will receive a confidential medical evaluation and follow up which includes:
· Obtaining consents for necessary testing
· Necessary immunizations
· Blood testing

All post-exposure evaluation and follow-up is done by McKenzie-Willamette Occupational Health Services.

Procedure:
Please report all exposures to the school nurse so that an exposure report can be generated. You will be directed to Occupational Health Services, McKenzie-Willamette Hospital, for evaluation and follow up. Office hours are M-F 9am -5pm. Phone number: 726-4640. If the exposure occurs on a weekend or after hours, please notify Occupational Health Services Monday morning as soon as possible.

The Occupational Health Nurse will determine if a significant exposure has occurred as well as counsel the individual about the exposure recommendations for follow-up and blood testing. Your employer will receive a Medical Evaluation Report with recommendations for follow-up and treatment, but test results are highly confidential and will not be given out or included in an exposure report.
