Who is “At-Risk”?
All full- and part-time employees, workers, outside contractors and anyone who comes into contact with chemicals and deceased human remains during their work at a funeral firm are considered at-risk.
“At-risk” positions include the following:
- Funeral directors, embalmers, interns, trade people, removal personnel and morgue attendants
- Hairdressers, cosmetologists, housekeepers and maintenance personnel
- Individuals who handle, prepare and/or disinfect remains (sanitary care) or who perform religious ritual care or cleansing
- Individuals who handle or come in contact with remains, medical waste and embalming chemicals, no matter how minimal
- Individuals who enter a prep room, no matter how briefly or for whatever reason
Everyone is responsible for creating and maintaining a safe and secure work area. There are no exceptions. Attending training sessions annually will ensure at-risk employees are:
- knowledgeable about the types of bloodborne pathogens encountered in most funeral home prep rooms,
- familiar with proven methods to reduce exposure risks, and
- aware of the proper use of personal protection equipment.
