OSHA's final rule on occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
This report is intended as a brief review of some of the key points of the new OSHA rule. It should not be used in place of the complete rule, and you should contact your legal advisor with any questions about interpretations of the rule. Because circumstances of occupational exposure vary among employers, it is advisable that employers be thoroughly acquainted with all requirements of the rule. The preamble to the rule, starting on page 64004 of the December 6, 1991 Federal Register, may provide helpful background information for understanding specific provisions of the rule.
