Posted By Emma Forbes Hi Mike, Like yourself I work in LA in the same sort of sections - Parks, Cleansing etc. We offer immunisations against Tetanus and Hep B. It is purely voluntary and the benefits of immunisation are explained at the induction stage as are the health effects of contracting such ilnesses. It kind of works on scare tactics which I'm sure a lot of people won't agree with....! We were really lucky with Occupational Health as they keep all the records and check when boosters are needed, the admin of it is minimal. We keep a list of all the staff that have had their immunisations in their records. This is used as a control measure in our risk assessments against the biological hazards as 99% of the men have been immunised. The other 1%, we control by allocating tasks where the exposure to the risk is low.Hope it helps.... Emma.
