[bs_col class=”col-sm-8″] Bloodborne pathogens are disease-inducing microorganisms which can be transmitted through human blood and other body fluids. Anyone whose job responsibilities require them to work with human blood or other possibly infectious material must comply with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard.

Some of the requirements include a written exposure control plan, vaccinations, training and following universal precautions. Information specific to your area should come from your supervisor before you begin work.

You may also contact Environmental Health and Safety for more information. [/bs_col]
