Are you saying a StatLock® Stabilization Device is mandatory, that the law actually requires me to use StatLock® Stabilization Devices?
No. You are not required by law to use any specific securement device. You are required to have listed as part of your Exposure Control Plan (ECP) technologies that can reduce or eliminate known accidental needlestick RISKS. That said, if you do not have sutureless securement in your ECP, then OSHA may cite you for violation of the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard.
