There have been numerous reports about methicillin-resistant Staph ("MRSA") infections in the general and medical media recently. Several Hanford contractor worker groups and Safety and Health personnel have asked HPMC OMS to provide additional information about MRSA. By way of several presentations, we have listened to worker concerns and provided information. NIOSH has added an impressive and informative Safety and Health page on the topic on their website: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/mrsa/ . If questions continue after reading the information on the NIOSH page, please contact Dr. Sandy Rock at (509) 372-0407 for further help with the issue.
