An Exposure Control Plan, otherwise known as a bloodborne pathogens exposure control plan, or OSHA exposure control plan, is meant to be a “living” document, used as a source of information for answering bloodborne pathogen-related questions and to help ensure exposure control activities are in place.
If exposures to blood or other body fluids* are reasonably anticipated, you are required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogens Standard to develop an Exposure Control Plan.
