One way to prevent becoming ill with the influenza virus is to avoid crowded settings and exposure to others who may be infected.

Flu season can strike a workplace hard. In 2009, the H1N1 influenza virus emerged, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believes the virus is likely to spread again this season in conjunction with the seasonal flu.

Working in high-risk areas such as hospitals regularly exposes health care workers to the influenza virus, putting them at an elevated risk for contracting the illness.

According to OSHA, simple hygiene may be the best protection against pandemic flu in your workplace.
