The Bloodborne Pathogen Standard is an
occupational safety and health standard that prevents occupational
exposure to bloodborne pathogens. The standard's
information-collection requirements are essential components that
protect employees from occupational exposure. The information is
used by employers and employees to implement the protection
required by the Standard. OSHA compliance officers will use some of
the information in their enforcement of the Standard.
