Question

Blood borne pathogens standard applies only to health-care workers. a. true b. false

Answer 1

False.

• The bloodborne pathogens standard, which doesn't just apply to staff working in healthcare environments, addresses the general problem of occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials.
• Any person who has occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials is included within the scope of this standard since no group is at zero risk for hepatitis B and the human immunodeficiency virus.

• OSHA expects that this standard will have an impact on the industries. It is important to note that "occupational exposure" is defined as "reasonably anticipated skin, eye, mucous membrane, or parenteral contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials that may result from the performance of an employee's duties."

Therefore, this statement is correct.
