OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
has issued a set of rules, known as a standard, that is designed to reduce the potential of employees getting a bloodborne or other potentially infectious disease while on the job. Employees are covered by the standard if they could be exposed to a bloodborne pathogen as a result of performing their job duties.
The standard is designed to protect you. It details ways
that you and your employer can work together to reduce the risk of getting a bloodborne disease.The procedures that apply to your job will be discussed in the remainder of this training. |
