title: Fulfilling record-keeping requirements mandated in OSHA regulations.
abstract: 1. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires implementation of an Exposure Control Plan (ECP) that details occupational health risks and how to avoid them, and documents all incidents that meet reporting requirements. 2. There are seven appendices that should be attached to any ECP, including a copy of OSHA regulations and related definitions, which is required by the OSHA Standard on Bloodborne Pathogens. 3. The six other appendices (Exposure Determination; Methods of Compliance; Post (hepatitis B)-Exposure Evaluation and Follow-Up; Communicating Hazards to Employees Through Training; Record Keeping; and Timetable of Compliance) are essential to maintenance of proper records and to compliance with OSHA regulations.
