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.
