Purpose
This policy is intended to limit the risk of occupational exposure to viruses carried in human blood, especially the AIDS virus and the hepatitis B virus. This policy identifies categories of jobs that may subject employees to occupational exposure and outlines procedures to aid in exposure prevention, training, record keeping and reporting. For the purpose of this plan, "occupational exposure" shall be defined as a reasonable anticipation that contact with human blood or other potentially infectious materials may result from the performance of the employee's duties.
