The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor,published the final rule regarding occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens. In essence, this legislation requires that employers provide for the safety of employees who, in the course of their official duties, may be exposed to blood. The legislation, written primarily for those in health care professions and those who handle medical wastes, also affects public safety employees, such as law enforcement officers, security officers, and fire and rescue personnel.
