Bloodborne Pathogens
The California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal-OSHA) issued a Bloodborne Pathogens regulation in order to minimize the potential for workplace exposure to pathogens including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B virus (HBV), and Hepatitis C virus (HBC). The chart below provides guidance on whether an incident meets the Cal-OSHA definition of an Exposure Incident, and if so, the steps an employer must take to follow up.
This form is completed in the event of an Exposure Incident (as defined above). The completed form must be sent to Human Resources.
