What is an “exposure control plan” and how do I write one?
The exposure control plan (ECP) is a written plan that explains the policies and procedures your establishment will use to minimize and/or avoid workplace exposures to blood-borne pathogens. It is typically the most difficult written requirement for owners, but the Cambridge Public Health Department has a template that can help you get started. The department can also work with you as you complete the document. If you have questions or need help creating an exposure control plan, please contact Jason Webster at 617-665-3848. See Regulation of Body Art, Sections 8.11 and 8.12.
