PURPOSE This Directive establishes minimum requirements to limit occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials that could result in transmission of bloodborne pathogens that could lead to disease or death. The purpose of this program is to eliminate or minimize employee exposure to bloodborne pathogens from blood and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) through a combination of engineering and work practice controls, personal protective clothing and equipment, medical surveillance, hepatitis B vaccination, signs, labels, and training. The two most significant bloodborne pathogens are hepatitis B Virus (HBV) which causes hepatitis B, a serious liver disease, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). APPLICABILITY This program is applicable to all MSFC civil service employees and contractors.
