What does 10.1-UNWELL require?

When a worker or anyone else at the workplace is unwell and the illness could pass to others (a respiratory or gastrointestinal illness, say), the PCBU should help the person get medical treatment where needed, see that they leave the workplace as soon as they can and stay away until they are no longer a risk of spreading it, keep them separated from others where sending them away is not reasonably practicable, support workers to work from home where the job allows and they feel well enough or to take leave under their entitlements, and supply suitable PPE such as a P2/N95 respirator when it is needed, making sure people know how to wear it. Anyone in close contact with the unwell person, first aiders and the people cleaning up after them for example, must be protected so far as reasonably practicable. Where a worker reveals that they have, or think they have, an infection that spreads readily, it may be right to tell others who were near them during the likely infectious period so they can watch for symptoms, bearing in mind the PCBU's privacy duties toward the worker.

Other controls in Chapter 10 Response to an exposure: reporting, first aid, medical advice, unwell persons, cleaning, work adjustments, emergency plans and notifiable incidents – Australia Model Code of Practice Managing the Risks of Biological Hazards at Work

10.1-ADJUST Support temporary work adjustments for exposed workers (changed location, tasks or leave) guided by the treating practitioner's advice on capacity, to aid recovery, allow quarantine and cleaning of areas and prevent further exposure, in collaboration with the worker and in line with reasonable adjustment law, managing any new hazards; and review the controls after any exposure to decide what changes or additions are needed
10.1-CLEAN After an exposure, close off contaminated areas, materials and equipment, clean and disinfect them before reopening access, dispose of items that cannot be adequately cleaned, clear the air with purifiers, mechanical ventilation or open windows, equip cleaners with PPE appropriate to the chemicals and exposure, inform any contracted cleaning PCBU of the risk and follow up, and ensure PPE is disposed of or disinfected and hands cleaned afterwards
10.1-FIRSTAID Provide first aid facilities suited to the biological hazard risks (adequate supplies such as dressings for non-intact skin, eye wash stations), accessible kits suitable for the likely injuries including bite and sting packs for field workers, enough trained first aiders holding the Provide First Aid statement of attainment or equivalent with annual CPR refreshers and three-yearly renewal, additional training for animal bites or penetrating injuries where relevant, and protection of first aiders through vaccination and counselling
10.1-MEDICAL After an exposure or potential exposure do all that is reasonable to respond to the health risk, including timely medical assessment or emergency department attendance, blood tests, post-exposure prophylaxis where HIV or hepatitis B is known or suspected, medical counselling and ongoing health assessment, and seek expert advice such as from health authorities on containing the exposure
10.1-RESPOND Encourage and enable immediate reporting of exposures with clear guidance on what to report and how, respecting privacy; take reasonably practicable steps to address the risk to those exposed while keeping the workplace safe, removing people from unsafe environments and protecting first aiders and cleaners with PPE, ventilation or air cleaning; keep policies and procedures setting roles, first aid, medical assessment, follow-up, reporting and out-of-hours or remote contacts; call 000 in an emergency and notify the regulator of serious incidents
10.2 Prepare, maintain and implement an emergency plan covering effective emergency response, evacuation, early notification of emergency services, medical treatment and assistance, and communication between the coordinator and everyone at the workplace, shaped by the work, hazards, size, location and people, covering uncontrolled escape, spill or leakage in laboratories and notification of offsite workers, reflecting incident notification duties, with defined testing, training and accessibility, regularly reviewed
10.3 Notify the WHS regulator immediately of notifiable incidents involving biological hazards (injuries or illnesses needing medical treatment within 48 hours of exposure to a substance, work-attributable infections from handling microorganisms, treating or caring for people, contact with human blood or body substances or with animals or animal material, the listed zoonoses Q fever, anthrax, leptospirosis, brucellosis, Hendra virus, avian influenza and psittacosis from animal work, and uncontrolled escape, spill or leakage posing serious risk), preserve the site until an inspector arrives or directs otherwise, and notify regardless of any public health reporting
