This file is a reference document containing OSHA Regulation 1910.1030, which addresses bloodborne pathogen standards. The regulation establishes requirements for employers to implement control measures to prevent occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and HIV. Key provisions include the development of an exposure control plan, methods of compliance such as universal precautions and engineering controls, use of personal protective equipment, housekeeping procedures, and requirements for medical surveillance and recordkeeping. The regulation mandates employee training on bloodborne pathogen hazards and establishes specific protocols for handling contaminated materials, sharps, and waste.

In the context of the related USCG solicitation (65100PR260020049), this OSHA regulation is directly applicable to the laundering services requirement for surgical scrubs and jackets exposed to contaminating spray and spatter at the USCG Aviation Training Center Mobile. The laundry service contractor must comply with OSHA 1910.1030 standards when handling, processing, and laundering medical attire contaminated with potentially infectious materials. This regulatory compliance is essential to protect worker safety during the laundering process and ensure proper decontamination procedures are followed throughout the service delivery.
