Bloodborne Standard
29 CFR 1910.1030
Post-Exposure and Follow-Up
Occupational Exposure due to First Aid Administration
According to the standard, "occupational exposure" also applies to employees required by their employers to be trained in first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and identified to perform these types of medical assistance as collateral job duty. All of the provisions of the Bloodborne Pathogens standard cover these employees. Some of these provisions include, but not limited to, the requirement that the hepatitis B vaccine series be available at no cost and on a pre-exposure basis to these employees.
