Bloodborne disease exposure

Who’s at risk?

The Postal Service has procedures to assist safety and health personnel in identifying the small number of employees, such as medical staff, who routinely perform tasks that could involve exposure to blood or infectious materials. First aid treatment is an example. Management Instruction EL-810-2017-4 provides policy guidance on compliance with OSHA requirements.

It’s USPS policy to protect the safety and health of all its employees and to comply with OSHA regulations.

And that’s smart safety!
