Health professionals must be familiar with regulations and statutes addressing privacy and confidentiality issues. The occupational health nurse must also be aware of specific limitations and exceptions to confidentiality. Occupational health nurses must become proactive in governmental affairs to lobby for changes to include workplace health records in future legislation. To ensure employee trust, occupational health nurses must maintain their ethical and legal responsibility to act morally when making decisions related to confidentiality. The AAOHN Code of Ethics and Interpretive Statements and the AAOHN Position Statement on Confidentiality of Health Information can be used as frameworks to guide occupational health nursing practice.
卫生专业人员必须熟悉涉及隐私和保密问题的法规和章程。职业健康护士还必须了解保密的具体限制和例外情况。职业健康护士必须积极参与政府事务，游说进行变革，以便在未来的立法中纳入工作场所健康记录。为确保员工信任，职业健康护士在做出与保密相关的决策时，必须履行道德和法律责任，以道德方式行事。美国职业健康护士协会（AAOHN）的《伦理守则及解释性声明》以及《关于健康信息保密的AAOHN立场声明》可作为指导职业健康护理实践的框架。
