m not sure which country you are working in but in the UK and US there will be an occupational health unit that can advise you. Otherwise you can take the HIV DUO test at 28 days and be assured of a negative result.
The results of this research have provided the EPA and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) with information to evaluate the potential health effects of workplace exposure to formaldehyde.
Long-term effects of formaldehyde have been evaluated in epidemiological studies (studies that attempt to uncover the patterns and causes of disease in groups of people).
Exposure to sulfuric acid aerosols at high concentrations is a potential occupational health hazard and may lead to immediate and severe irritation of the eyes, respiratory tract and mucous membranes and there is a risk of subsequent pulmonary edema if tissue damage has been more severe. However at lower concentrations, the most common symptom of chronic exposure to sulfuric acid aerosols could be erosion of the teeth and difficulty in breathing.

This presents as: heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea or , fainting. If these condition persists, it would be best to see your doctor for proper management.

I work in occupational safety and health field. There was a question about firing practice at gun ranges during pregnancy last week. I posted some recommendations to prevent lead exposure to pregnant mom's and fetus.
Based on an article in Seattle Times, October 19, 2014 "Loaded With Lead" I personally will no longer be visiting a firing range during pregnancy, and hope other pregnant mom's will do the same.
Children in general are more susceptible to lead posioning.
I went to occupational health department after that, they took my blood to keep serum. I have to go after 6 week again and then again 3 mon, 6mon.
s responsible for your employee/occupational health. As part of the reporting and follow-up, there is usually an attempt to identify information about the source patient (Hepatitis B and C, as well as HIV).
The CDC website (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/bp.html) has excellent information regarding how blood borne pathogen exposures in the health care setting should be managed. The specific link related to Hepatitis B is: http://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/HBV/PEP.htm#section1.
Now his company want him to see the Occupational Health Dr. The hospital and GP agree that he cannot return to work yet. He has no problem having the referral and seeing the Occ. Dr. He has not told work that he has Hep C, but Liver Impairment. The nurse specialist can supply a letter confirming Liver Impairment.
What we want to know, does he have to disclose his Hep C and if so does the Occ. Dr. have to tell his employer.
Ladies, are any of you in the situation where you got pregnant accidentally and don't want the father involved? Cause I am. I'm 19 and got pregnant because of bipolar medication clashing with my birth control pills. I am 25 weeks plus 1 day. I can't stand the father anymore and don't feel safe thinking about my daughter being around him. He never hit me but he's a very angry and intense person who has beat objects up out of anger and frustration.
