Avian Flu: What You Need to Know

The Avian Flu lacks one trait that could turn it into a pandemic: the ability to spread from human to human. But the lethal virus can become contagious any time, so companies must protect their employees, their families and their facilities from exposure and contamination. This program profiles the virus and offers important tips on how to avoid transmission.

While it might not seem like a serious risk right now, the Avian Flu is just one step away from turning into a global pandemic. It only needs to mutate into a form that can be spread easily between humans. That’s why it is important for your company to have emergency procedures in place should such an event happen.

Avian Flu: What You Need To Know will show you how you can protect your employees from contamination. It covers all characteristics of the virus and its transmission risk factors. Even if you aren’t particularly concerned about the Avian Flu, it is important for your employees to know what to do in the event of any outbreak. The lessons in this DVD provide all the background information you and your employees need in order to make informed decisions in the midst of a dangerous pandemic.
