OSHA
- OSHA has emphasized that employers must comply with OSHA standards for bloodborne pathogens, personal protective equipment, respiratory protection, and other requirements including those that may be required by state OSHA plans.
- OSHA created an Ebola webpage that provides information about the disease and how to protect workers. It includes sections on the disease itself, hazard recognition, medical information, standards for protecting workers, control prevention and additional resources. This page was created for healthcare workers and mortuary and deathcare workers, along with other occupations. It also contains links to the CDC and the NIOSH web pages on Ebola.
