This says to me that CalPERS is merely following the "Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for an Influenza Pandemic: OSHA 3327-02N 2007"* which most larger businesses and public workplaces have begun following in anticipation of a large-scale flu outbreak.
My employer has issued hand sanitizers, put up posters alerting workers to symptoms, published its pandemic action plan, and had a mass meeting where we were all treated to an actual demonstration of correct hand-washing. Considering the surreptitious studys conducted in the past few years that showed a high percentage of the population doesn't even bother to wash their hands after using the restroom, I can't get down on employers telling their staff to wash their hands, and wash them properly.
Nice defensive effort, but this memo isn't geared at low-level hospital attendants. If CalPERS employees really need a two-page memo that explains how to wash their hands there's even more dead weight than originally thought.
