Bloodborne diseases are a serious concern in the United States. "Hepatitis B" infects over 70,000 people annually, and has over one million "carriers" in the U.S. The HIV virus, which usually leads to AIDS, currently infects millions of people. Because of the increasing problems with these diseases, in 1991 OSHA passed a "Bloodborne Pathogens" regulation. Topics covered in this program include:
* Epidemiology and symptoms of bloodborne diseases. * Modes by which bloodborne disease is transmitted. * The Exposure Control Plan. * Recognition of exposure situations. * Practices to prevent exposure. * HBV vaccination. * Emergency procedures. * Signs and labels. * Selection and use of personal protective equipment. * and more.
