Leaving to Return: A Safe Day in the Life of a Public Health Field Worker - New York Department of Health 2001 - Disc FW - Tom, a new public health TB field worker, gets safety tips from his supervisor before going out on two visits. Visit one is to a family for a contact investigation follow-up. Tom encounters a dog, hostile husband and possible spousal abuse situation. Visit two is a DOT field visit to a high rise apt in a rough neighborhood. Issues such as pre-planning your field visits, maps and alternate routes, understanding public transportation, use of cell phone and phone cards, dealing with dogs, checking out neighborhood, vehicle maintenance, appropriate dress, avoiding confrontations, documenting trouble spots, signing out, carrying proper ID and paperwork are all discussed.
