THE ORCBS > Biological Safety > Programs & Guidelines > Exposure Control Plan > MIOSHA's Bloodborne Infectious Diseases Standard states that all employees who have duties which potentially expose them to blood or other potentially infectious material are determined to have a reasonably anticipated risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens and are acknowledged in the Exposure Control Plan. The ORCBS originally determined which job classifications include potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens through the use of a questionnaire delivered to the Deans, Directors, Chairpersons, Heads of Administrative Units, Principal Investigators and Supervisors. The exposure determination was made without regard to the use of personal protective equipment. Job classifications which have been determined to have a reasonably anticipated risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens, either by the nature of the occupation or by specific tasks which an employee is required to perform as part of their job, are listed in Appendix A of this document. Information regarding job classifications which are covered by the provisions of the Exposure Control Plan will be updated annually based on information received from affected departments.
