I have to disagree about poison ivy being 'not that bad' (voice of experience). If he is highly allergic, his whole system can become involved and he will need to go to the doctor. He may have to take steriods or other anti-inflamatory drugs to bring the infection under control. After he has recovered, he should be using a preventative cream so he doesn't get re-infected since he may work at the same cemetary again. If the weather is extremely hot and humid, he doesn't even need to touch the stuff to get it. The poison ivy oils can be airborne and land on the skin of folks nearby.
I agree with Paul. His injury is work related and you need to cover your 'liability' by making certain that he gets proper medical treatment.
