Applicable to employees providing health services or working in an AHS facility/clinic
At AHS, all new employees have a responsibility to protect themselves and others from occupationally related communicable diseases. A communicable disease is a highly infectious illness that is spread from one person to another through direct contact, the air, blood and/or body fluids, or contaminated environments in the workplace.
As a health care worker, sharing your immunization history with AHS' Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) is crucial to protecting you from potential communicable disease exposures and supporting safe, healthy work environments.
In accordance with the Communicable Disease Assessment Policy, if your work duties involve providing health services or you work in an AHS facility/clinic, your employment is conditional upon completion of a Communicable Disease Assessment (CDA) form (preferably before your first day of work).
As a last resort, your employment may be terminated if you do not submit a CDA form within 90 days of being hired.
Send a completed CDA form to AHS’ WHS along with any available immunization records as soon as possible:
We’ll review your records, and may contact you for an appointment with an Occupational Health Nurse, or refer you to a Public Health Office for follow up.
Submit a CDA form even if you're still waiting for immunization records that you’ve requested or cannot obtain them.
See our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about communicable disease assessments and immunizations.
