Under the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, are employers responsible for providing sharps disposal containers for employees who are diabetic and need insulin shots?
The employer would not be required to provide a sharps container to an employee using insulin syringes for personal therapeutic reasons. To eliminate potential exposures to other workers, however, the employer could require that the employee provide his or her own workplace sharps container.
