Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan s2

Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan s2

<p>Federal and state Bloodborne Pathogens Standards, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 and Cal/OSHA CCR Title 8 Section 5193, require a written exposure control plan to mitigate or prevent occupational exposures to human blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM). This BUA application documents the exposure control plan and the Universal Precautions for the project. Universal Precautions is an approach to infection control in which human blood and OPIM are treated as if potentially infectious for bloodborne pathogens, and the approach calls for consistently using barrier protection, e.g., disposable gloves, to prevent direct contact with blood or OPIM. </p><p>Regulatory Requirements A copy of the BUA must be made readily accessible in the laboratory for reference, review, or for planned or unannounced inspections by the University or State. Exposure control plans must be updated to reflect any changes and at least annually, with, at a minimum, (1) Bloodborne pathogens training dates within the last year for the researchers listed, (2) Signatures of researchers to document their review of the safety protocols, (3) Biosafety cabinet certification date(s) as applicable.</p><p>Hepatitis B Vaccination/Declination The Principal Investigator (PI) shall ensure that employees who have potential occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials are offered the hepatitis B vaccination. The PI shall retain documentation that the hepatitis B vaccine series was offered and whether it was declined; the PI shall not retain medical records of vaccination or disease status. </p><p>Name Has the hepatitis B vaccine been offered to you?</p>
