When do I need a Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Plan (BBP ECP)?
You need a Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Plan when your work involves handling human (and non-human primate) blood and body fluids, unfixed human tissue, human cells and established human cell lines, and any material that contains or is reasonably believed to contain HIV, Hepatitis B virus (HBV), or Hepatitis C virus (HCV). You can review the bloodborne pathogen laws and regulations at the California Code of Regulations, Title 8, SubSection 5193 website.
