What can people do in regard to work?
Having hepatitis C should not have impact on people in the workplace. Risk of hepatitis C transmission is so low that people with hepatitis C have no obligation to inform employers, work colleagues or customers that they have the virus. The one exception is for health care workers who carry out exposure prone procedures. Looking for work In pre-employment health checks, employers should ask questions relevant only to the advertised job. Types of work where someone might be precluded because they have hepatitis C are limited to those specialised health care workers who carry out exposure-prone procedures (operating with sharp instruments within body cavities). Unless a person with hepatitis C is applying for such work, employers have no valid legal reason to know about their infection. If someone is specifically asked when filling out a pre-employment medical questionnaire to tell about hepatitis C or such things as liver illnesses, they would probably need to decide whether to disclose
