  • Interim Guidance About Ebola Infection for Airline Crews, Cleaning Personnel, and Cargo Personnel
    Ebola Guidance for Airlines Interim Guidance about Ebola Infection for Airline Crews, Cleaning Personnel, and Cargo Personnel Updated October 15, 2014 CDC requests airline crews to ask sick travelers if they were in Guinea, Liberia, or Sierra Leone in the last 21 days. 1. If YES, AND they have any of these Ebola symptoms—fever, severe headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, or unexplained bruising or bleeding—report immediately to CDC. 2. If NO, follow routine procedures. Purpose: To give information to airlines on stopping ill travelers from boarding, managing and reporting onboard sick travelers, protecting crew and passengers from infection, and cleaning the plane and disinfecting contaminated areas. Key Points Ebola video: What Airline Crew and Staff Need to Know A U.S. Department of Transportation rule permits airlines to deny boarding to air travelers with serious contagious diseases that could spread during flight, including travelers with possible Ebola symptoms. This rule applies to all flights of U.S. airlines, and to Watch on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgOsEFtLDlU) direct flights (no change of planes) to or from the United States by foreign airlines. Cabin crew should follow routine infection control precautions for onboard sick travelers. If in-flight cleaning is needed, cabin crew should follow routine airline procedures using personal protective equipment available in the Universal Precautions Kit. If a traveler is confirmed to have had infectious Ebola on a flight, CDC will conduct an investigation to assess risk and inform passengers and crew of possible exposure. Hand hygiene (http://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/) and other routine infection control measures should be followed.

  • Motion Sickness Medications Across State Lines
    United States Department of the Interior NATIONAL PARK SERVICE 1849 C Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20240 IN REPLY REFER TO: ELECTRONIC COPY, NO HARD COPY TO FOLLOW March 1, 2018 (2410) TECHNICAL BULLETIN To: Regional Concession Chiefs From: Chief, Commercial Services Program /s/ Brian Borda Subject: Management of Vomit on Board Vessels, Aircrafts, and Vehicles and Distribution of Motion Sickness Medications across State Lines PURPOSE This technical bulletin was developed in consultation with the National Park Service (NPS) Office of Public Health (OPH) and addresses the minimum requirements for the development of concessioner procedures to manage vomit on board ferry vessels, aircraft or buses and to provide retail sales of motion sickness medication. BACKGROUND NPS operators, as concessioners contracted with the NPS, are obligated under the terms of their contract to develop and implement procedures to manage incidents that may impact public health. These should include procedures for the proper management of vomit from sick visitors. Motion sickness medication can be helpful in preventing such incidents. However, there may be specific rules and regulations pertaining to the transportation of those medicines across state lines. Vomiting occurring on vessels, aircraft, and buses is frequently due to motion sickness; however, vomiting may also be caused by infectious diseases, such as norovirus, which is a common and highly contagious cause of gastrointestinal illness. An infectious disease, rather than motion sickness, should be considered especially if the passenger states that he/she felt sick prior to boarding the vessel, aircraft or vehicle or if the passenger states that he/she had been in contact with other people with vomiting prior to boarding.

Donald Sussman .„. ,.«.,«> fA \ PREFACE This report was prepared by the Operator Performance and Safety Analysis Division ofthe Office of Research and Analysis at the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (VNTSC). The authors would like to thank all of the individuals who contributed to this study. Among these were John Harding, Chief Scientist of the Maglev Technology Development Staff in the Federal Railroad Administration, and James Milner of Mitre Corp., who served as Technical Monitor for this project. At the Volpe Center, Robert Dorer, Chief ofthe High-Speed Ground Transportation Special Projects Office and Michael Coltman, Project Manager, supervised execution ofthework. Our major collaborators in this undertaking were staff members of Grumman Aerospace (now Northrop Grumman) in Bethpage, New York. Paul Shaw was Project Manager and Phil Danley was chiefly responsible for the development ofthe simulation software and computer-generated graphics. Dick Gran supervised the entire undertaking. Pilots Bill Patterson and Jim Dowd helped develop the experimental procedures and flew the pilot tests. John Eng, Dennis Brooks and Mike Yamond ran the simulator. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority provided some of the funding for theconversion ofGrumman's X-29 simulator to Maglev useand for a study of the effects of vibration on passenger comfort. Richard Drake, its Program Manager for Transportation led that effort. Berger, Lehman Associates, under contract to Will Ristau of the New York State Thruway Authority, developed the alignment, which was the basis for the flight paths used in the experiments described in this report.

  • Ebola Guidance for Airlines
    Ebola Guidance for Airlines Stopping ill travelers from boarding aircraft U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) rule 14 CFR § 382.21 permits airlines to deny boarding to air travelers with serious communicable diseases that pose a direct threat as defined in §382.3. The provisions for denial of passenger travel are further detailed in 14 CFR §382.19(c)(1)-(2). §382.3: Direct threat means a significant risk to the health or safety of others that cannot be eliminated by a modification of policies, practices, or procedures, or by the provision of auxiliary aids or services. Travelers originating from a country with a known Ebola outbreak and who present with possible Ebola symptoms could be considered a direct threat. This rule applies to all flights of U.S. airlines and to direct flights (no change of planes) to or from the United States by foreign airlines. Air travelers that pose a direct threat should be handled by airline personnel according to the airlines prescribed policies and procedures. General infection control precautions Personnel should always follow basic infection control precautions as prescribed by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to protect against any type of infectious disease. Managing ill people on aircraft if Ebola is suspected It is important to assess the risk of Ebola by getting more information. Ask sick travelers whether they were in a country with an Ebola outbreak. Look for or ask about Ebola symptoms: fever (gives a history of feeling feverish or having chills), severe headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea (several trips to the lavatory), stomach pain, or unexplained bleeding or bruising.
