SafetyManager’s
''Bloodborne Pathogens in Commercial and Light Industrial
Facilities'' Regulatory Compliance Kit™, updated
to incorporate the latest medical language and guidelines,
has been specifically created to assist facilities in
fulfilling the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard's (29
CFR Part 1910.1030) training requirements.
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 over one million
people. Because of the increasing problems with these
diseases, in 1991 OSHA passed a ''Bloodborne Pathogens''
regulation.
The Kit addresses the major areas needed to comply with
the Standard. A Compliance Manual containing a ''fill-in-the-blank''
Exposure Control Program, as well as other materials needed
to help meet compliance requirements, is included. The
Posters in the Kit emphasize the importance of preventative
measures. The Videotape and Employee Booklets include
information on the contents of the standard, 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.
