Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Needlesticks and other sharps-related injuries may expose workers to bloodborne pathogens.
The following references aid in recognizing workplace hazards associated with bloodborne pathogens. The Bloodborne Pathogen Standard is located in 29CFR1910.1030. Types of Bloodborne Pathogens.
