The Bloodborne Pathogens Standard requires that?

  1. Employers educate a select group of employees who will be in contact with residents with bloodborne diseases

  2. Employers provide hepatitis B vaccinations to employees at reduced cost

  3. Employers keep one set of personal protective equipment on hand for visitors to use

  4. Employers have an exposure control plan

The correct answer is: Employers have an exposure control plan

The Bloodborne Pathogens Standard requires employers to have an exposure control plan in place. This plan is essential as it outlines the procedures and protocols to minimize employees' risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens, such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. It includes identifying employees at risk, training for safe practices, providing necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), and outlining procedures for what to do in the event of an exposure incident. This proactive approach ensures a safer work environment and compliance with occupational health regulations. The focus on having a formal exposure control plan addresses the need for continuous education, resources for protection, and clear guidelines, reinforcing a culture of safety within healthcare settings. This requirement plays a key role in protecting not just the employees, but also the residents and patients they care for.
