in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law makes a designated officer warn workers who may have been exposed to a disease. The notice must explain the disease and any medically appropriate next steps.

(a) After getting a notification under section 300ff–132 or 300ff–133(d)(2), a designated officer must, as soon as practical, tell each employee who (1) responded to the emergency and (2) may have been exposed to an infectious disease, as shown by the Secretary's guidelines. (b) That notice to the employee must include: (1) that the employee may have been exposed and the disease's name; (2) any action that's medically appropriate, based on the Secretary's guidelines; and (3) the date of the emergency, if that's medically appropriate to share. (c) After getting a response under section 300ff–133(d)(3), (d)(4), or (g)(1) — meaning no exposure, insufficient facts, or an evaluation result — the designated officer must, as soon as practical, tell the employee about that response too.
