    Bloodborne Pathogens Terminology: Exposing the regulation one term at a time

    Despite being over 30 years old, OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) remains widely misunderstood. With 28 defined terms and dense legal language, it's no wonder this frequently cited rule continues to challenge general industry employers.

    Summary

    Although the Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) Standard has been around over three decades, it continues to confuse employers. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 is cited 300 to 500 times each year, making it a frequently violated regulation in Part 1910. Perhaps the confusion and noncompliance may be found in the very text of the standard — legal terminology that has been with the standard from the very beginning.

    The BBP Standard defines 28 terms in its definitions section, so the use of these words and phrases may make this regulation a challenge for employers in general industry. This webcast explores:

    • Over 70 key terms related to BBP,
    • OSHA's intent when using them,
    • Core BBP Standard requirements, and
