Control Prevention - General Guidance for Employers

• Follow applicable OSHA Standards related to workplace safety and health. Note that employers of laboratory workers must adhere to the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and other standards applicable to laboratory work.
• Train outdoor workers about the hazards associated with mosquito-borne diseases in the work region. Workers should also be trained how to identify and eliminate mosquito breeding sites where possible.
• Supply workers with insect repellent as necessary. Supply mosquito netting or bed nets to workers who must sleep outdoors or in locations unprotected from mosquitoes. For overseas workers, provide anti-malarial drugs and/or vaccines as appropriate and recommended by a healthcare professional.
