Communicable Diseases COPC’s decisions involving persons who have or may be/have been exposed to communicable diseases shall be based on current and well- informed medical judgments concerning the disease, the risks of transmitting the illness to others, the symptoms and special circumstances of each individual who has a communicable disease, and a careful weighing of the identified risks and the available alternatives for responding to an employee with a communicable disease. Communicable diseases include, but are not limited to, measles, influenza, viral hepatitis-A (infectious hepatitis), viral hepatitis-B (serum hepatitis), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV infection), AIDS, AIDS-Related Complex (ARC), leprosy, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), including SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus), and tuberculosis. COPC may choose to broaden this definition within its best interest and in accordance with information received through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Vaccine Recommendations According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Healthcare workers (HCWs) (including physicians, nurses, emergency medical personnel, dental professionals and students, medical and nursing students, laboratory technicians, pharmacists, hospital volunteers, and administrative staff) are at risk for exposure to serious, and sometimes deadly disease. Individuals that work directly with patients or handle material that could spread infection should get appropriate vaccines Personal Property: Damaged, Lost, or Stolen Employees should use discretion when bringing personal property into the workplace. COPC assumes no risk for any loss or damage to personal
COPC will not discriminate against any job applicant or employee based on the individual having a communicable disease. Applicants and employees shall not be denied access to the workplace solely on the grounds that they have a communicable disease. COPC reserves the right to exclude a person with a communicable disease from the workplace facilities, programs, and functions if the organization finds that, based on a medical determination, such restriction is necessary for the welfare of the person who has the communicable disease and/or the welfare of others within the workplace. COPC will comply with all applicable statutes and regulations that protect the privacy of persons who have a communicable disease. Every effort will be made to ensure procedurally sufficient safeguards to maintain the personal confidentiality about persons who have communicable diseases.
COPC will accommodate employees who wish to express breast milk for the employee’s nursing child up to 1 year after the child’s birth during the workday by providing reasonable accommodations for break times to do so. The Company will provide a designated room, other than a bathroom, which is shielded from view, free of intrusions from coworkers and the public, and is compliant with all other applicable laws for this purpose. Employees should discuss their needs with their Direct Supervisor so that accommodations can be considered. Safety and Accident Rules - OSHA Safety is a priority at COPC. The Company strives to provide a clean, hazard-free, and safe environment in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA). Our goal is to always provide a safe and healthy work environment for employees, patients, and visitors. Each employee is expected to obey safety rules, comply with safety policies, and to exercise caution and judgement in all work activities. Strict adherence to OSHA regulations and guidelines is expected through exercising caution and good judgement in all work activities. Employees are expected to take part in maintaining the environment by observing all posted safety rules, adhering to all safety instructions provided by Supervisors, and always using safety equipment when required. Every employee has the responsibility to learn the location of all safety and emergency equipment, as well as the location Health and First Aid Any medical condition considered to be beyond normal first aid, may require that 911 be called immediately. First aid supplies are available at each location. Our goal is to provide employees with the necessary information regarding appropriate techniques associated with administering medical assistance to others. COPC is concerned about employees who may be exposed to blood and other bodily fluids when administering first aid to other employees and patients. To safeguard employees when administering first aid, the following precautions should be used:
Employees who use regularly scheduled rest breaks to express breast milk will be paid for the break time. If the lactation break does not run concurrently with the employee’s regularly scheduled, compensated break period, the lactation break time may be unpaid. If an employee has any concerns regarding nursing accommodations or break times, they should speak with their Direct Supervisor and/or Human Resources immediately.
