What qualifies as BBP occupational exposure?: Answer

Answer: Yes. If the office worker is assigned to perform first aid involving bloody incidents, then that employee is considered to have occupational exposure and must be protected under the provisions of 29 CFR 1910.1030. In addition to being reasonably anticipated, the contact results from the performance of the office worker’s duties, in this case. An example of contact with blood and other potentially infectious materials that would not be considered an occupational exposure would be a “Good Samaritan” act.
