Please direct all questions to Biosafety Officer Linda Hicks (IBC@mso.umt.edu).
The 猎奇重口 (UM) Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan is provided to eliminate or minimize the exposure of all UM employees and students to human blood or human blood products that might contain bloodborne pathogens. This plan is in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogen standard 29 CFR 1910.1030.
Bloodborne Pathogens Training
In 1991, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) , 29CFR 1910.1030 was passed to protect workers from this risk. The standard mandates that employees who may come into contact with human blood or tissue as part of their job duties be provided with Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) training on an annual basis.
All employees and students at UM who are at risk of contacting human bloodborne pathogens while performing their jobs or research are required to have annual BBP training.
