Emergency Preparedness and Response – Oil Spills - Overview

Overview

This webpage is designed to serve as a resource for workers and employers in general, and specifically for emergency response and recovery workers and their employers. It covers safety and health issues related to preparedness for, responses to, and recovery from oil spill emergencies.

Revision to OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard

Revision to OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard

Technical Background and Summary

April 2001

Background

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration published the Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens standard in 1991 because of a significant health risk associated with exposure to viruses and other microorganisms that cause bloodborne diseases. Of primary concern are the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses.
