<h2>Basis for Policy:</h2> | |||
REVISED DATE: 01/13/10<br /> | <p>The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) is committed to providing a safe and healthful work environment to prevent or minimize staff, researchers and student exposure to bloodborne pathogens and offer appropriate initial treatment/follow-up, when or if such exposures occur.</p> | ||
<h2>Policy:</h2> | |||
REVIEWED DATE: 12/02/09< | <p>It is the policy of UNMC to follow the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) final rule for the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (Federal Register 56:64003-64182)29CFR 1910.1030, promulgated December 6, 1991 (Appendix II [56:64175-64182]), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, and legal requirements, when making decisions regarding rights and responsibilities of individuals exposed to or currently under treatment for a bloodborne pathogen/disease. To ensure compliance with these authoritative regulations and provide guidance to UNMC staff, researchers and students a Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan has been designed to eliminate or minimize exposure to bloodborne pathogens such as the following (see the Glossary in Appendix I of the Plan for definition of these and other terms.):</p> | ||
<ul> | |||
<li>Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)</li> | |||
<li>Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)</li> | |||
<li>Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), as well as</li> | |||
<li>other potentially infectious bloodborne agents</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
<p>All UNMC staff, researchers and students who might be exposed to bloodborne pathogens are required to read the Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan which is available online.</p> | |||
