SafetyManager’s ''Bloodborne Pathogens in First Response
Environments'' Regulatory Compliance Kit™, updated to
incorporate the latest medical language and guidelines,
has been specifically created to assist First Responders
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.
Topics covered in this kit include:
