[BC] BDR Flu Article

[Barry Mishkind]

Thanks, Steve.

For those who didn't see it, the article is at www.theBDR.net/articles/ops/mng/mng-flu.pdf

There are a lot of additional precautions that can be taken ... but, as I noted in the article, we already know some will not cooperate ... and just like some kids at school, SOMEONE WILL bring the flu into the station.

Perhaps we need more social engineering - everyone should be alert to suggest a co-worker who is coughing and sneezing take it outside as quickly as possible.  Stations should be expecting a few malingerers - as some "game the system" for a few day/week off - but even that is cheaper than having mass absences throughout the station!

I may well be adding some of your notes to the article.

Hope you are back to 100% TPO these days!
