What are Bloodborne Pathogens?
According to OSHA Standard 1910.1030, "Bloodborne Pathogens" means pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans.
These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B & C viruses and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

History
In the 1980s and early 1990s, the public became increasingly concerned with the discovery of HIV(AIDS) and the likelihood for exposure to bloodborne pathogens in the workplace.
The Federal OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard (1910.1030) was finalized in late 1991.

OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030
The standard was revised by the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act of 2000.
This Act set forth in greater detail (and made more specific) OSHA's requirement for employers to identify, evaluate and implement the use of safer medical devices.

Who is Covered Under the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard?
All employees and/or student workers who could be occupationally exposed to blood or Other Potentially-Infectious Materials (OPIM).
Occupational Exposure means: reasonably anticipated contact to the skin, eye(s), or mucous membranes, with blood or other potentially infectious materials that may result from the performance of an employee's duties.

Hepatitis B (HBV)
After exposure it can take 1-9 months before symptoms become noticeable.
Symptoms can be very much like a mild “flu” – stomach pain, nausea, fever, etc.
“Carriers” may not experience any effects for years
Vaccination series is available and encouraged for those who could have Occ. exposure.

Hepatitis C (HCV)
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been found in all parts of the world. Transmission most commonly through parenteral exposure (break in skin).
Common examples of exposure types: receiving a blood transfusion from an infected
source
sharing intravenous drug needles with an infected individual.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, is caused by a virus called the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV.
Once a person has been infected with HIV, it may be years before AIDS actually develops.
AIDS attacks the body’s immune system, weakening it so that it cannot fight other deadly diseases.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Symptoms of HIV infection:◦ weakness, fever, sore throat, nausea,
headaches, diarrhea, a white coating on thetongue, weight loss, and swollen lymphglands.
An infected person may carry the virusfor years before symptoms appearing.

Personal Hygiene
Hand washing is also critical to reducing the spread of pathogens.◦ Employees are required to wash hands with soap and running water immediately after contact with blood or OPIM.
◦ Hand washing facilities must be made accessible to employees.
◦ If hand washing facilities are not accessible, hand cleaner may be used as a temporary measure.
