EMPLOYEE  ASSISTANCE

When, in the opinion of the immediate supervisor and/or the Superintendent, the employee's physical or emotional condition warrants, based on staff and/or student safety the District may require a complete examination, at District expense, by a licensed physician selected by the District.

The Superintendent shall have procedures for complying with the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), including an exposure-control plan, methods of compliance, work-practice controls, postexposure evaluation and follow-up, and administering vaccine to employees exposed to Hepatitis B virus.

All employees who as a result of their employment have had significant exposure to bloodborne pathogens (Hepatitis B/Human Immunodeficiency Virus) are required to report the details of the exposure in writing to the District and are required to follow postexposure evaluation and follow-up activities in accordance with New Mexico and federal laws.  An employee who chooses not to complete these reporting requirements will be at risk of losing any claim to rights.
