The Unified Command and BP support the roster and the goal of identifying all workers, including volunteers, involved in all response/cleanup activities. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/oilspillresponse/protecting/ 26 Jul 2010 Recommendations contained in the Interim Guidance will be updated as more information about exposures is collected and assessed in relationship to the incidence and prevalence of symptoms, illnesses and injuries. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/oilspillresponse/pperecsumm.html 26 Jul 2010 A table indicating NIOSH Interim Respiratory Protection Recommendations for Deepwater Horizon Response Workers. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/oilspillresponse/gulfspillhhe.html 22 Jul 2010 On May 28, 2010, BP requested a health hazard evaluation of Deepwater Horizon Response workers. The third in a series of interim reports from this health hazard evaluation, which is ongoing, was issued July 22, 2010. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/oilspillresponse/indicators.html 21 Jul 2010 This guidance provides health professionals with important elements of a pre-placement evaluation for Deepwater Horizon response workers. It lists conditions that may indicate a need for further medical attention or for work restrictions or modifications. The evaluation should be used to provide information to the worker about his/her health status and its potential impact on health and safety. It should not be used to determine employment. Personal information, particularly about health, should be collected, maintained, and shared in a manner consistent with applicable laws such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Information to an employer, such as work restrictions or modifications, may only be provided as permitted by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other applicable law. It should not reveal medical or other information that could be used in a discriminatory manner. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/oilspillresponse/recruiting.html 19 Jul 2010 To facilitate efforts by the many stakeholders interested in meeting the surveillance and research needs of Deepwater Horizon oil spill clean-up workers, NIOSH is establishing a policy that allows qualified researchers to recruit individuals included in the roster for participation in investigative studies. This procedure balances the need for transparency and data utility against NIOSH’s responsibility to protect the privacy of the individuals on the roster. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/oilspillresponse/hurricanes.html 15 Jul 2010 The recommendations provided in this interim information focus on issues specific to the Deepwater Horizon Response and do not address issues common to all hurricane responses.
