Comment on Privacy Legislation in Quebec by Otis Powers

Otis Powers — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:50:59 +0000

I am responsible for EHS activities in a Quebec manufacturing site. Our corporate policy requires that any injury occuring at work be immediately reported to the direct supervisor and a report generated as to the injury incident with Human Resources for the purpose of determing a recordable or nonrecordable injury. The reports are kept confidential in the employees file to protect the employee and maintain a record in the event that future treatment may be need later on for an agravated type of injury, say a back problem.
So then, the direct supervisor, who is responsible for the employee at work, will have knowledge only of the injury incident, his direct leader will have the same knowledge, the Human resource person will have knowedge of the injury incident as well as medical treatment beyond first aid and if the injury is recordable or not. HR and the injured employee will be the only ones having knowledge of medical treatment beyond first aid. Will this practice violate the privacy act?
Thank you a quick response.

Nice summary. I’m glad to see Abine up there; I use it for PrivacySuite. I’m a Firefox user myself, but because there was a lot of focus on Chrome in this article, they also make an anti-tracking extension called ChromeBlock: http://www.abine.com/more/chromeblock.php

Comment on The Red Flag Rule, Delayed Enforcement and Amendments by IDTheftReview

IDTheftReview — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 08:00:57 +0000

Prevention of identity theft should be a team work from individuals, companies as well as the government. Providing policies like this can be very useful especially in providing the public with information that may help them recognize and terminate possible identity theft. In that way, identity theft may shrink in terms of incidences.

Comment on Recommendations for Identity Theft Related Data Breach Notification by IDTheftReview

IDTheftReview — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 08:00:06 +0000

Once breach of data occurs in a particular agency or company, it is imperative to implement necessary actions that will reduce the possibility of identity theft on their clients. Beforehand, any agency that has a collection of client’s personal information should be ready enough to face possible data breach. Since it can happen unexpectedly, the agency should be kind enough to assist their clients at risk in monitoring signs that may indicate identity theft.

Comment on HIPAA: Health Information Portability and Accountability Act by Keep It In House

Keep It In House — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 00:24:22 +0000

The care system is flawed like all systems. This situation would be best handled by following your administrative chain of command. Do report this error in judgment to a lawyer. That will only result in backfiring in your face. HR and Risk Management would be crawling down your back as short as your career there would probably be after that. I know whistle blowers protections are discreet but you get my point. The lawsuit would only create a worse situation for other employees as well as patients. The lawsuit would be huge and the funds would have to be compensated. Do you get my point? Report the issue to the next level in the chain of command if it still goes unnoticed every risk management program has discreet reporting available. If it is a small clinic your next step is the medical director. If that is who did the issue your next step the administration director. If that still is not working you can implement a strategic intervention with multiple employees.

Comment on Facebook’s Data-Sharing Mistake by Monex

Please note that these permissions only provide access to a users address and mobile phone number not their friends addresses or mobile phone numbers the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Facebooks Jeff Bowen as saying.However Sophos security expert Cluley has raised doubts over the move.You have to ask yourself – is Facebook putting the safety of its 500 million users as a top priority with this move? he said.It wont take long for scammers to take advantage of this new facility to use for their own criminal ends.Cluley advised that users should take personal info such as home addresses and mobile numbers off their pages.You can imagine for instance that bad guys could set up a rogue app that collects mobile phone numbers and then uses that information for the purposes of SMS spamming or sells on the data to cold-calling companies he said.

On the exams, there is only one “best” answer. On some of our older tests, we still have more than one answer as a philosophical “learning” experience. All of the newer exams are one answer, and we’re updating the older ones as able. Btw, the printable tests are a little slower to update than the new engine exams…

I just downloaded CIPP/G test prep CBK#1 and noticed in several instances that there appears to be two answers for questions that ask “Which is the best way…?” Can more than one answer be possible when the question infers one is most appropriate? Do some questions have more than one “right” answer?…ie #1, 2, 5,7,10, etc
