Introduction
In July of 1992
the federal government passed the Bloodborne Pathogen Law 29 CFR
1910-1030. All employees are now federally mandated by OSHA (Occupational
and Safety and Health Administration) to have annual training to
identify the risk associated with their work environment. This program
will provide a general discussion on bloodborne diseases and their
transmission, exposure control requirements, engineering and work
practice controls, universal precautions and emergency response
methods when occupational exposure to blood or other potentially
infectious materials occurs.
