This document is designed to serve two purposes:
(1) to provide guidance on health protection to employers whose
employees may be exposed to avian influenza (AI) viruses; and (2)
to provide technical information (in appendices) about AI viruses
and, in particular, about H5N1, an AI virus currently circulating
in Asia, Europe and Africa that rarely causes disease in humans
but when it does the case fatality rate is high.
