Guidance Available for Business Travelers & More
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued guidance for protecting outdoor workers from occupational exposure to Zika virus.
Background
Outdoor workers may be at the greatest risk of exposure to Zika virus, which is primarily spread through the bites of infected mosquitoes. Your employer should inform you about the risk of exposure through mosquito bites and how to protect yourself.
