Bloodborne Pathogens
Protecting employees from occupational exposure to disease-causing viruses and bacteria has become an extremely significant issue in the workplace.

For example, the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are pathogens that are transmitted through blood and other bodily fluids. Employees who have the potential to come in contact with blood or other potential infectious materials face the possibility of contracting these viruses and developing severe health problems.
