Bloodborne Pathogens Terminology: Exposing the Regulation One Term at a Time
Registration
When
10/17/24 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm CDT
Event Description
Sponsored by J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc.
Although the OSHA standard on bloodborne pathogens (1910.1030) has been around more than three decades, it continues to confuse employers. The standard is cited 300-500 times a year, making it a frequently violated regulation in Part 1910. Perhaps the source of the confusion and noncompliance may be found in the very text of the standard – legal terminology that’s been with the standard from the beginning.
The standard defines 28 terms in its definitions section, so the use of these words and phrases may make the regulation a challenge for employers in general industry. This webinar will explore:
- More than 70 key terms related to bloodborne pathogens
- OSHA's intent when using the terms
- Core requirements of the standard
- Answers to your questions
