The purpose of the medical surveillance program is to evaluate the health of employees related to their potential occupational exposures to hazardous agents. This program will also assure compliance with various regulations which require medical monitoring when employees use certain materials, are exposed to certain biological or physical hazards or are members of certain regulated occupational groups. This policy does not include ergonomic-related illnesses and work-related injuries/illnesses (worker's compensation claims) covered under the University Workers Compensation Program. <br /><br /> | The purpose of the medical surveillance program is to evaluate the health of employees related to their potential occupational exposures to hazardous agents.

A post exposure treatment algorithm and agent specific protocols have been developed for biological agents and materials (referred to as the Post Exposure Agent Specific Protocols). Protocols have been established to address agents for the types of exposures that could occur on campus. All Institutional Biosafety Committee applications involving research with biological agents must include information for post exposure management. Information regarding biological incidents and spills is included in the [https://info.unmc.edu/safety/procedures/UNMC_FLIPCHART.pdf Emergency Preparedness Guide]. | A post exposure treatment algorithm and agent specific protocols have been developed for biological agents and materials (referred to as the Post Exposure Agent Specific Protocols).
