Regulatory Report
3651 Wheeler Road, Augusta, 30909 Georgia, United States
The employer had the capability of detailed tests for Covid-19 but opted for a screening test on a patient who was transferring from another hospital. The patient was not isolated. In consequence, nine employees were exposed, and tested positive. Level 1 N-95 masks were inadequate to protect workers in direct contact. No eye protection was provided. A quarantine procedure was not implemented for exposed employees until symptoms appeared. Face shields were made available for a short period of time, and were then removed. Proper N-95 masks and other PPE are still not available.Source: Osha.gov | Receipt Date: 2020-06-11
