  • Title: OSHA gets into dirty laundry.
    Author: Weller SC.
    Journal: Text Rent; 1992 Mar; 75(7):60-1. PubMed ID: 10117435.
    Abstract:
    Second of a three-part series on the new bloodborne pathogens rule, this article covers exposure control plans, personal protective equipment for laundry workers, and compliance monitoring. In short, the rule mandates more record keeping for employers and less exposure for employees. By May 5, every laundry with employees who could "reasonably anticipate" coming into contact with blood-soiled linen and needles or sharps must establish a written exposure control plan. Turn to page 60 for information to help you get into compliance.
