PREVENTION OF THE SPREAD OF TUBERCULOSIS AMONG DISTRICT EMPLOYEES.

WASHINGTON, May 3, 1906.

Ordered: That the officers in charge of the several departments, offices, and branches of the District government ascertain the name of each person having tuberculosis employed therein, and present to such person for his guidance a copy of the rules set forth below.

That whenever there is a doubt as to whether any person aforesaid has or has not pulmonary tuberculosis, the officer in charge of the department, office, or branch of the government in which said person is employed shall direct said person to present himself (or herself) at the health office for examination, to determine the presence or absence of such disease. Any employee so examined shall submit to the officer at whose instance the examination was made a certificate from the health officer showing the result of such examination.

That the health officer shall cause a thorough sanitary inspection to be made of the buildings under the control of the District government, and shall report to the Commissioners such insanitary conditions as are immediately remediable and such as require structural changes. The officer having control of any building under examination shall upon request of the health officer give such assistance as may be required. That the following rules for the prevention of the spread of tuberculosis be observed by all persons in the employ of the District government, and be enforced by the officers having charge of the several departments, offices, and branches of the municipal service.

Rules to prevent the spread of tuberculosis in buildings under the control of the government of the District of Columbia.

1. All persons in the employ of the District government are positively forbidden to spit upon the floor.

2. Rooms, hallways, corridors, and lavatories shall be freely aired and effectually cleaned at least once a day. Except under absolute necessity no room shall be swept or dusted while it is in use.

3. Spittoons shall be cleaned daily with very hot water, and when placed ready for use must contain a small quantity of water.

4. Dust must be removed as thoroughly as possible by means of dampened cloths or mops. It must never needlessly be stirred up by a broom or duster, as the practice spreads dust and germs.

5. Floors of cement, brick, stone, or similar material must be frequently scoured with soap and water.

6. In each building, and in each room if the circumstances so require, an employee, designated by the officer having charge of such building or room, will secure during working hours the admission of as much fresh air and sunshine as the conditions will permit.

7. The use of an individual drinking glass by every employee is recommended.

8. Employees who suffer from pulmonary tuberculosis shall be separated, if possible, from others while at work.

9. Employees who suffer from pulmonary tuberculosis must not use the public spittoons, but must provide themselves with individual sputum receivers, preferably of easily destructible material, and carry these with them to and from their places of employment. Such persons will be held strictly responsible for the disposal and destruction of their own sputa, so that no other person's health may be endangered thereby.

10. Employees suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis must provide for use in their places of employment their own drinking glasses, soap, and towels, and shall not use those provided for general service.

11. Plainly printed notices, reading as follows: "Do not spit on the floor; to do so may spread disease," shall be prominently posted in rooms, hallways, corridors, and lavatories, where deemed desirable. Official copy furnished health officer. By order:

W. TINDALL, Secretary.
