An excerpt from ISNetworld® RAVS®* Safety plan Bloodborne Pathogens Program
Purpose
This program is for all employees of Replace with Company Name who may possibly be exposed to microbial contamination in the conduct of their job. This Bloodborne Pathogens Cleaning and Disinfection plan includes requirements for personal protective equipment, housekeeping, training, and disposal. Replace with Company Name shall ensure that all employees with occupational exposure participate in a training program. If Replace with Company Name determines that it has employees with occupational exposure, then the Responsible Safety Officer (RSO), Replace with Safety Person’s Name shall prepare an exposure determination. The exposure determination shall be made without regards to the use of personal protective equipment.
Responsibilities
If a need for an Exposure Control Plan is determined, the RSO, Replace with Safety Person’s Name will handle the Bloodborne Pathogen Program and maintain records of any training and/ or inspections required. The RSO shall ensure that a copy of the Exposure Control Plan is readily accessible to employees in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1020(e). [4] <4> This plan has detailed steps to take in the event of an exposure incident. PPE requirements are listed in the plan. For instance, employees of Replace with Company Name who have been trained in First Aid and are expected to provide emergency care would be expected to have exposure.
Hierarchy of Controls – dealing with any hazards in the workplace typically utilizes some version of hierarchy of control to determine the best course of action to address hazards. This typically is order of preference is eliminating- substituting- isolating the hazard, however in the case of potential microbial environmental hazards these first three steps are not considered an option in that we’re working from the assumption that under this engineering, administrative, and PPE are the practical hierarchy of controls.
1. Eliminating the Risk
2. Substituting the Risk
3. Isolate the Risk
4. Engineering Controls
5. Administrative Controls
6. Personal Protective Equipment
Engineering Controls - prevention of exposure to bloodborne pathogens; engineering controls include proper storage facilities and containers and disinfectant equipment. Work practice controls shall be used to eliminate or minimize worker exposure.
