SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of a
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance process to
provide the public with an opportunity
to comment on proposed and
continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, the reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, the
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and OSHA’s estimate of the
information collection burden is
accurate. The Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C.
651 et seq.) authorizes information
collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act, or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires OSHA to obtain such
information with a minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of effort in
obtaining said information (29 U.S.C.
657).
The information collection
requirements specified in the
Bloodborne Pathogens Standard require

employers to: Develop and maintain
exposure control plans; develop a
housekeeping schedule; provide
workers with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)
vaccinations, post-exposure medical
evaluations and follow-up; maintain
medical and training records for

representatives with access to these
records. Employers must also establish
and maintain a sharps injury log for the
recording of percutaneous injuries from
contaminated sharps.

Estimated Total Burden Hours:
5,720,498.66.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $52,526,634.41.
