OSHA GUIDANCE ON
ANTHRAX EXPOSURE

Last reviewed: 9/5/05

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued new workplace anthrax exposure guidance.  If you have employees who open mail, they may be a little nervous in light of the recent anthrax cases.

OSHA's guidance, called the Anthrax Matrix, aims to help employers assess the risk their workers face and suggests measures that can be taken to help protect them.  You can find the Anthrax Matrix at:
