Medical Monitoring for Risk Group 2 Pathogens

McMaster has a medical monitoring program for risk group 2 and select pathogens effective July 1, 2011.

The supervisor has the responsibility to ensure implementation.

Listed below you will find medical monitoring information sheets for the risk group 2 and select pathogens.

In addition, the Canadian Immunization Guide should be followed. Immunizations may be acquired through your family doctor. Students may attend the Student Wellness Centre.

If any individuals under your supervision are using any of the agents:

1) Print a copy of the information sheet for each individual and have them read it.

2) Both the individual and the supervisor initial and sign the last page.

3) Keep a signed copy in your biosafety files.

4) If your faculty/staff or graduate students chose to become part of the active medical monitoring program, or have any questions, they can contact the Occupational Health Nurses at byrner1@mcmaster.ca or gibbong@mcmaster.ca or call the office at extension 20309 or fax 905-528-0449.

5) This documentation will become part of the annual biosafety audit.
