Book Synopsis AIDS in the Workplace by : William F. Banta
Download or read book AIDS in the Workplace written by William F. Banta and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 1993 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health experts estimate that one million people in the United States are HIV positive, but new medical treatments allow many to work for years after contracting the AIDS virus. Drawing on the most comprehensive and up-to-date information now available on the complex legal and ethical issues related to AIDS, attorney William F. Banta explains employers', employees', and applicants' rights and responsibilities as defined by the new Americans with Disabilities Act, OSHA, COBRA, the National Labor Relations Act, state and local laws, arbitration awards, and the Centers for Disease Control. He clarifies the complex issues of hiring, firing, insuring, and testing applicants and employees with the AIDS virus. More than any other group of employees, physicians, nurses, dentists, and other health care workers have generated concern about transmitting or acquiring HIV on the job. While the risk of actual infection is very low for medical practitioners, and even more remote for patients, health care employers should develop policies and procedures to guide them through complex and sensitive situations and limit their liability in the event of a legal challenge. They must balance the infected employee's right to work against the obligation to protect the patient. They must weigh the obligation to treat infected patients against the right of employees to safe working conditions. They must consider the right of an employee or patient to know the HIV condition of the other, as well as the infected person's right to confidentiality. William Banta cuts through the medical, legal, and ethical morass to analyze these matters with clarity. The extensive appendix of laws and regulations, governmentrecommendations, checklists, and sample policies will assist readers in developing or evaluating their own workplace procedures. Workers who are HIV positive, managers, union officials, attorneys, and physicians, will find valuable advice on one of the most urgent problems of the 1990s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inevitably, HIV/AIDS has taken its toll on workforces, production systems, markets, and local communities. As a result, companies of all types face higher costs in terms of training, insurance benefits, absenteeism and illness. Based on feedback from members of the International Organization of Employers (IOE) and through IOE's extensive business networks, this handbook documents selected initiatives in the workplace designed to minimize the impact of HIV/AIDS and to maximize prevention efforts. These include educating employees about HIV/AIDS, promoting changes in attitudes and behavior towards sex, and in some cases, establishing care and treatment programs to treat workers and families. The handbook also provides details of results obtained and lessons learned by employers worldwide.

Book Synopsis Sex, Work and Professionalism by : Katie Deverell
Download or read book Sex, Work and Professionalism written by Katie Deverell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex, Work and Professionalism examines what happens when professional concern is defined in terms of sex. Based on original fieldwork with outreach workers in HIV prevention it addresses issues of professionalism, emotion work and boundaries, integrating empirical insights with sociological theory. In most professional relationships sex is not defined as part of the relationship, in fact it is explicitly excluded in guidelines and codes of ethics. HIV prevention outreach workers work in sexual environments with a sexually defined target group and are often employed on the basis of their sexuality. They have to learn how to balance their work and professional lives, overcoming conflicts such as: * professional role V community role * sexual skills V sexual boundaries * personal experiences V professional understanding * professional identity V worldviews. Many of the questions being raised in this book about the meaning of professionalism, the pain and pleasure in emotion work and the management of boundaries between home, sex and work are being asked more generally by workers in a range of organisations. Sex, Work and Professionalism argues for a new understanding of professionalism more appropriate to the human services.
