Has there been any regulatory activity regarding occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens?
Yes. On November 5, 1999 OSHA issued a national news release titled “OSHA Revises Bloodborne Pathogens Compliance Directive.” The directive stresses the use of new medical advances (e.g. engineering controls such as Dornoch’s systems) to minimize the serious health risks faced by workers exposed to blood and other potentially infectious materials.
