Which OSHA standard pertains specifically to bloodborne pathogens?

The standard that pertains specifically to bloodborne pathogens is 29 CFR 1910.1030. This standard establishes requirements for protecting employees from the hazards associated with bloodborne pathogens, such as HIV and Hepatitis B. It mandates that employers implement an exposure control plan, provide training to employees, and ensure the availability of necessary personal protective equipment (PPE). The focus of this regulation is to minimize the risk of occupational exposure to these pathogens and to promote safety in the workplace where employees may come into contact with potentially infectious materials.

Other options mention different aspects of workplace safety regulations. For instance, 29 CFR 1910.120 addresses hazardous waste operations and emergency response, while 29 CFR 1910.1450 applies to laboratory safety standards. 29 CFR 1910.257 deals with the safety requirements for the maintenance and use of hand and power tools. Each of these standards has its own specific focus, which distinguishes them from the bloodborne pathogens standard.
