Where should an employee report after exposure?

• A. Occ Health
• B. HR
• C. Police Station
• D. Clinic

Answer: (A)

When a work-related exposure occurs, the immediate and appropriate place to report is Occupational Health. This team handles post-exposure medical evaluation, baseline testing, vaccination status review, and any follow-up care or treatment (such as post-exposure prophylaxis if indicated) within the framework of the workplace exposure control plan. They keep the medical aspects confidential, coordinate necessary labs, and document the incident properly. Human Resources deals with personnel matters, not medical evaluation, so they’re not the appropriate first stop. A clinic might provide care in some settings, but Occupational Health is specifically set up to manage workplace exposures and ensure compliant, timely medical response. The police station is not relevant to medical management of exposure.
