Understanding OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard: Protecting Workers from Infection

OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard aims to protect workers from health risks associated with exposure to bloodborne pathogens, such as Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The standard requires employers to implement safety protocols, provide training, and ensure access to personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize risks for occupationally exposed workers. Awareness and adherence to these regulations are crucial for safeguarding public health and employee well-being in various settings.
