(a) Responsibility. No person affected with a disease in a communicable form, or who is a carrier of a communicable disease shall work in any food establishment. No operator shall employ any person knowing him to be suspected of having or knowing him to be a carrier of a communicable disease. The operator shall notify the Health Commissioner immediately, if he has reason to believe that an employee has a disease in a communicable form or has become a carrier of a communicable disease.
(b) Examinations. Where the Board of Health determines that X-ray facilities are reasonably available it shall require periodic chest X-ray examinations of all employees or may substitute a negative Mantoux test for a chest X-ray.
(c) Procedure When Infection is Suspected. When the Health Commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that a danger of transmission of infection from any food establishment employee exists, the Health Commissioner is authorized to require any or all of the following measures:
(1) The immediate exclusion of the employee from employment in all food establishments;
(2) The suspension of the food establishment permit in accordance with the provisions of Section 717.05 until no further danger of disease outbreak exists, in the opinion of the Health Commissioner; or
(3) Adequate medical examination of the employee and of his associates, with such laboratory examinations as may be required by the Health Commissioner.
