Employers should protect workers and workers should protect themselves from diseases spread by mosquitoes. Although people may not become sick after a bite from an infected mosquito, some people have a mild, short-term illness or (rarely) severe or long-term illness. Severe cases of mosquito-borne diseases can cause death.
Workers are at risk when they are working where mosquitoes are biting. Different species of mosquitoes are found in varying geographic locations, are most active at different times, and spread different diseases. The risk to workers varies with where they are working in the United States or elsewhere, type of habitat at the work site, season, and time of day.
Some mosquitoes lay eggs in or near standing water. Decrease the numbers of mosquitoes at worksites by:
removing, turning over, covering, or storing equipment
removing debris from ditches
filling in ruts and other areas that collect standing water
removing tires, buckets, bottles, and barrels that collect water
placing drain holes in containers that collect water and cannot be discarded
Keep mosquitoes outside by ensuring that doors and windows have screens and are kept closed when possible.
Provide training about:
the risk of mosquito bites and how to prevent them
symptoms of mosquito-borne diseases
the safe use of insect repellents
Provide workers with, and encourage them to wear, clothing that covers theirs hands, arms, legs, and other exposed skin. Consider providing hats with mosquito netting to protect the face and neck
