Germs that infect the respiratory system often spread through:

• Cough or sneeze droplets
• From person to person
• Saliva, mucus, and tears of an infected individual

Through indirect transfers, including air and contaminated surfaces

The first step of infection control measures is by stopping the spread of the disease. The best way to prevent the spread is through the following steps.

• Minimize close contact with the sick employees who have symptoms of respiratory illness
• Maintain workplace hygiene by cleaning heavily trafficked areas, doorknobs, restrooms, and cafeterias
• Promoting personal hygiene and cough etiquettes at the workplace by educating employees:

1. To wash hands for at least 20 seconds
2. Maintain a social distance
3. Use hand sanitizers and masks whenever necessary
4. Maintain a clean work environment

Several common respiratory illnesses, such as flu, can be prevented with a seasonal vaccine. Axiom Medical offers specialized onsite medical services and flu clinics with employee vaccination and testing options.

A communicable disease is a contagious illness that spreads from a person to another through various ways, including contact with nasal and cough droplets, physical contact, through the air, or by contaminated surfaces or objects. An infectious disease can be airborne or waterborne or may spread through a carrier (insects). 

The risk of infection at a workplace is measured through a detailed evaluation that involves identifying and reviewing all potential risk factors related to employee healthcare, workplace safety, and medical services provided. Based on the identified risks, businesses determine how to manage and control infection risk at their workplaces.

A contagious illness has four stages: exposure, infection, disease, and lastly, the outcome. 

Some of the most common contagious respiratory illnesses are:

• Sneezing and runny nose
• Sore throat and dry cough
• Fever and night sweats
• Wheezing and shortness of breath
• Night sweats
• COPD or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
• Secondary respiratory infection leading to pneumonia
