HEALTH RIGHTS AT WORK
Your employer is responsible for providing proper training, relevant personal protective equipment, and record-keeping of possible exposures and infection.
DISCRIMINATION DOESNโT MAKE US SAFER
Watch out for inaccurate information, racial profiling, and other actions not related to evidence-based prevention. These only become barriers to effective preparation and response to the spread of infectious disease. Itโs against the law for a worker to be profiled and discriminated against based on their ethnicity and other protected classes.
