IMPLEMENTING OSHA'S BIOHAZARD STANDARDS by Bill Grieb Many employees may be exposed to biohazards in their workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has developed standards related to blood-borne pathogens such as hepatitis and AIDS, but other hazards exist, including tuberculosis and the hanta virus. Any employee who risks coming in contact with infectious materials is covered by the blood-borne pathogens (BBP) standard (Federal Requirement CFR 1910.103) . Professions at risk include housekeepers and janitors, groundskeepers and gardeners, nurses and dental assistants, firefighters, and even first-aid givers. Infectious materials include semen, vaginal secretions, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, pleural fluid, pericardial ... The health of such professionals as funeral specialists, waste-removal workers, police, firefighters, and even dry cleaners depends largely on compliance with these standards. So far, the new BBP standard has been an enormous success. In any given year, OSHA now issues approximately 1,000 citations for BBP standards violations, particularly in the health field. Today, more than half of the doctors and dentists inspected received citations for BBP violations. Many of OSHA's BBP citations involve these key areas: training in needle recapping proper sharps containers regulated waste personal protective equipment vaccination employee training Hanta Virus The hanta virus is endemic in rodents such as deer mice (12% to 70% of them are infected), but it's is rare in humans-though deadly. It was first identified in the Four Corners region in ...
