Hazardous Material or Contagious Diseases. Any employee who, while performing his or her job responsibilities, is exposed to a chemical spill, radioactive material, hazardous industrial material or a contagious disease, and who has reason to believe that such exposure may be harmful to his or her health, shall be examined by an emergency room physician. The examination must be conducted as soon as practicable after the exposure and with the approval of the employee’s supervisor. Approval will not be unreasonably withheld. The Employer will pay for the medical examination to the extent such examination is not covered by health insurance or the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. The presence of or exposure to a chemical spill, radioactive material, hazardous industrial material or a contagious disease shall be reported to the Employer immediately.
