Filnamn: Applicability of the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard for employees who work as companion-sitters in private homes.

OSHA interpretation letter from 1997 on whether the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, applies to companion-sitters in private homes. It states that designated first aiders are covered, that omitting pre-exposure Hepatitis B vaccine for collateral-duty first aiders is a de minimis violation under certain conditions, and that other standard requirements still apply.
