The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) rule, Bloodborne Pathogen Standard 29 CFR 1910. 1030, requires that any employer with employees who have a reasonable likelihood of exposure to blood or potentially infectious material, should have a written exposure control program, provide yearly training, offer the Hepatitis B vaccine within 15 working days after assignment, provide the safest work place allowable, and provide post exposure treatment and follow up.
