In December of 1992, with
input from the CDC, OSHA announced a workplace standard
entitled; Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens.
These are bacteria and viruses present in human blood and
body fluids that can cause disease in humans. OSHA
has determined that employees are at risk when they are
exposed on the job to blood and other materials that may
cause infections. These materials may contain
certain pathogens, or germs. These pathogens include
hepatitis B virus (HBV), which causes hepatitis B, a
serious liver disease, and human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV), which causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome
(AIDS). OSHA concluded that employers can reduce or
remove this hazard from the workplace. This can be
done by using a combination of engineering and work
practice controls, personal protective clothing and
equipment, training, medical surveillance, hepatitis B,
vaccination, signs and labels, and other provisions.
This program includes
information that will help participants understand what
bloodborne pathogens are and how risks of exposure can be
reduced for themselves and others. Participants are
introduced to precautionary practices that are recommended
by organizations such as the Occupational Safety & Health
Administration and the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention. |
