My business has offices overseas. What are the companys responsibilities for the workers to protect them from, educate them about, and provide treatment for HIV/AIDS?
Each company handles this differently depending on the company capabilities. It is important to educate the workers and managers about HIV/AIDS and how it is contracted, so that staff/workers will know they do not need to worry about contracting the virus at work. Workplace policies and programs are good ways of educating staff/workers. Treatment is more complicated and will depend a lot on the medical aid scheme your company provides. For more information, please contact the Business and Labor Resource Service at 1-877-242-9760.
