1. Purpose and Applicability of the <br /> Bloodborne Disease Exposure Control Program <br /> The purpose of this exposure control program is to minimize or eliminate potential employee <br /> exposure to human blood and certain other body fluids or tissues by defining special precautions. <br /> An additional purpose for this'prograzn is to define the administrative responsibilities for the <br /> program. It is suggested that the final OSHA Regulations (Appendix VIII) and Instruction CPL <br /> 2-2.44 C also be used as a reference. Other sources of regulatory assistance may include <br /> individual state OSHA and public health agencies. <br /> While contact with the above materials is not a frequent on-the-job occurrence with <br /> �personnel,potential exposure may occur in first-ald situations where there are open <br /> wounds or where breathing resuscitation efforts are required. This program primarily addresses <br /> those parts of the regulation that would apply to this minimum exposure. <br /> This model blood borne disease exposure control program has been modified in accordance with <br /> instructions provided by the Minnesota Association of Munici al Utilities and applicable state <br /> and federal regulations and has been approved as the own blood borne <br /> disease exposure control program by the appropriate administrative or governing authority shown <br /> below. <br /> De artment s to which applicable Approv in Authority Date Approved <br /> Where administrative responsibility for the program is divided among two or more city depart- <br /> ments, separate programs will be adopted. <br /> L <br /> 3 <br />
