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
workers from occupational exposure. The information is used by
employers and workers to implement the protection required by the
Standard. OSHA compliance officers will use some of the information
in their enforcement of the Standard. OSHA is proposing to remove
the requirement that employers document employee’s social security
number (SSN) in their exposure and medical records. Time to
document SSN in records is negligible and therefore, the Agency is
not requesting changes to the burden hour or cost estimates in this
ICR.
