Job Descriptions

Bill Leftwich

I work in a medical setting where some employees are exposed to different levels of exposure. Should the various levels of exposure be indicated on the job description? For example, someone coming in contact with bodily fluids is a level one, but an administrative asst. is a level 3, indicating no risk for exposure. My guess is it can't hurt to include it on the job description as long as it is correct, and peridically reviewed.

Bill,

I think this sounds like a good idea. Having this on the job description could come in handy if you ever have an employee or applicant with a particular vulnerability, like a compromised immune system or something like that. You could include the j.d. with the paperwork you give that employee to get a fitness for duty release from their doctor.

I can't think of a reason not to.
