<p>They should report these unsafe working conditions to OSHA. Hospitals are required to have a plan for this, and certain actions are specifically called out as potentially riskier. Seems like if you've notified the administration of the risk, and notified OSHA you can stop work until the dangerous work environment is resolved. Findlaw and OHSA article on respiratory programs below.<p>Under federal and state laws, employers must provide a safe workplace. If unsafe working conditions are present, a worker may report the violation to the employer, to the federal and/or state Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and in some cases, the worker may refuse to work. The following is a summary of OSHA protection and guidelines for dealing with dangerous conditions in the workplace.
What to Do When a Safety Hazard Poses an Imminent Danger
When unsafe working conditions place the life of a worker in imminent danger, the worker should report the dangerous condition to OSHA. The worker also has the right to refuse to work if:

<p>I like this idea, but I think there are probably two things that are an issue with this:<p>1 - You remove control of the company from being able to plausibly deny that something happened; you become a second subpeonable party that would disclose something if forced to. 
2 - You're not pricing it high enough for a big reseller (like CDW, etc) to want to try to sell it.<p>Not sure how to fix #1 besides selling/licensing the tech (if the patent issues) to a larger company that can roll this into a larger offering (and out to their exiting customers).<p>Background; I've worked in Enterprise Software Sales and as part of a SaaS Operations Team.</p>
