Proposed Project 

Ensuring compliance with the OSHA 

Bloodborne Pathogens Standard among 

Non-Hospital Healthcare Facilities— 

New—National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention estimate that healthcare 

workers sustain nearly 600,000 

percutaneous injuries annually 

involving contaminated sharps. In 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
11542 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2012 / Notices 

response to both the continued concern 

over such exposures and the 

technological developments which can 

increase employee protection, Congress 

passed the Needle-stick Safety and 

Prevention Act directing OSHA to revise 

the blood borne pathogens (BBP) 

standard to establish requirements that 

employers identify and make use of 

effective and safer medical devices. That 

revision was published on January 18, 

2001, and became effective April 18, 

2001. 

The revision to OSHA’s blood-borne 

pathogens standard added new 

requirements for employers, including 

additions to the exposure control plan 

and maintenance of a sharps injury log. 

OSHA has determined that 

compliance with these standards 

significantly reduces the risk that 

workers will contract a blood-borne 

disease in the course of their work. 

However, blood-borne pathogens 

programs, policies, and standards for 

health care workers are based primarily 

on hospital data. Approximately onehalf of the 11 million health care 

workers in the United States are 

employed in non-hospital-based 

settings, such as physician offices, home 

healthcare agencies, correctional 

facilities, or dental offices and clinics. 

Little information is known about the 

risk management practices in these nonhospital settings. A small study 

conducted by the National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH) found that although seven of 

the eight correctional health care 

facilities visited had written exposure 

control plans, only two were reviewed 

and updated annually as required by the 

OSHA BBP Standard. One reason 

postulated for non-compliance was that 

hospital-based standards, policies, and 

programs may not be appropriate to 

non-hospital settings. It is important to 

identify effective methods for using 

exposure control plans in non-hospital 

settings and to verify whether the 

specificity and relevance of bloodborne 

pathogen training and educational 

materials for non-hospital facilities can 

positively impact compliance in dental 

settings. 

The purposes of this proposal are to 

insure that bloodborne pathogens 

exposure control plans are effectively 

implemented in private dental offices 

and dental clinics, an important 

segment of the non-hospital based 

healthcare system; and to understand 

how effective implementation strategies 

may be applied to other healthcare 

settings. The proposed work will draw 

on research-to-practice principles and 

will be assisted by a strong network of 

dental professional groups, trade 

associations, and government agencies. 

Specific objectives are to: 

(1) inventory existing exposure 

control plans in dental healthcare 

settings. 

(2) determine if the exposure control 

plan or other resource is actively used 

to prevent occupational exposures. 

(3) determine available resources and 

barriers to use such as relevant 

educational materials, knowledge, costs, 

availability, etc. 

(4) develop strategies to overcome key 

barriers to compliance. 

(5) report lessons learned applicable 

to the entire health sector. 

The Organization for Safety, Asepsis 

and Prevention (OSAP) is a unique 

group of dental educators and 

consultants, researchers, clinicians, 

industry representatives, and other 

interested persons with a collective 

mission to be the world’s leading 

advocate for the safe and infection-free 

delivery of oral care. OSAP supports 

this commitment to dental workers and 

the public through quality education 

and information dissemination. OSAP’s 

unique membership includes the variety 

of partners critical to gather the data on 

compliance with the OSHA bloodborne 

pathogens standard, identify barriers 

and develop strategies to overcome 

barriers to compliance. 

OSAP will be conducting a Web 

survey of private dental practices in the 

United States. Information collected 

will include current level of existing 

exposure control plans in various dental 

healthcare settings; whether the plan or 

other resource is actively used to 

prevent occupation exposures; available 

resources and barriers to use such as 

relevant education materials, 

knowledge, costs, and availability. 

OSAP is working with a publishing 

partner that has a double-opt-in email 

distribution list of 45,419 dentists. The 

dentists in the email list represent every 

state in the country. The list represents 

32% of the total population of working 

dentists in the United States. 

The average open rate for this list is 

12.76%, which would represent 5,768 

dentists. The targeted number of 

completed questionnaires is estimated 

at about 566 (10% participation rate is 

assumed since there will be an incentive 

and one reminder). The survey is 

estimated to take about 10 minutes for 

respondents to complete. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time.

Proposed Project 

2013 and 2015 National Youth Risk 

Behavior Surveys (YRBS)(OMB No. 

0920–0493)—Reinstatement with 

change—National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The purpose of this request is to 

obtain OMB approval to reinstate with 

change, the data collection for the 

National Youth Risk Behavior Survey 

(YRBS), a school-based survey that has 

been conducted biennially since 1991. 

OMB approval for the 2009 YRBS and 

2011 YRBS expired November 30, 2011 

(OMB no. 0920–0493). CDC seeks a 

three-year approval to conduct the 

YRBS in Spring 2013 and Spring 2015. 

Minor changes incorporated into this 

reinstatement request include: An 

updated title for the information 

collection to accurately reflect the years 

in which the survey will be conducted 

and minor changes to the data collection 

instrument. 

The YRBS assesses priority health risk 

behaviors related to the major 

preventable causes of mortality, 

morbidity, and social problems among 

both youth and young adults in the 

United States. Data on health risk 

behaviors of adolescents are the focus of 

approximately 65 national health 

objectives in Healthy People 2020, an 

initiative of the U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS). The 

YRBS provides data to measure 20 of 

the health objectives and 1 of the 

Leading Health Indicators established 

by Healthy People 2020. In addition, the 

YRBS can identify racial and ethnic 

disparities in health risk behaviors. No 

other national source of data measures 

as many of the Healthy People 2020 

objectives addressing adolescent health 

risk behaviors as the YRBS. The data 

also will have significant implications 

for policy and program development for 

school health programs nationwide. 

In Spring 2013 and Spring 2015, the 

YRBS will be conducted among 

nationally representative samples of 

students attending public and private 

schools in grades 9–12. Information 

supporting the YRBS also will be 

collected from state-, district-, and 

school-level administrators and 

teachers. The table below reports the 

number of respondents annualized over 

the 3-year project period. 

There are no costs to respondents 

except their time. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 6,215.
