(a) Inform all inmates who apply for a position in food services that a current medical clearance is a requirement.

Those inmates who exhibit symptoms of colds or flu, have cuts, abrasions, or skin rash will not be permitted to work until they have been seen and released for work by Heath Services. Inmates with cuts or abrasions that have been released by Health Services can work as long as they have the wound bandaged and they wear a plastic glove.

(3) Staff supervisors will evaluate and follow up with Health Services any complaints of illness by inmates. Statements about the health of any inmate which could affect the health and well being of staff and inmates will be reported to Health Services and the shift supervisor.
