Introduction

One of the keys to implementing a successful Exposure Control Plan is to identify exposure employees may encounter.  To facilitate this in our facility, we have prepared the following lists:

• Job Classifications in which all employees have occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
• Job Classifications in which some employees have occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
• Tasks and procedures in which occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens occur.

The Environmental Health and Safety Officer will work with laboratory supervisors and area supervisors to revise and update these lists as our tasks, procedures and classifications change.

JOB CLASSIFICATIONS IN WHICH ALL EMPLOYEES HAVE EXPOSURE TO BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS

Below are listed the job classifications in our facility where all employees handle human blood and other potentially infectious materials which may result in possible exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
