The decontamination and laundering of protective clothing are governed by the laundry provisions of the standard at 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(iv). This bloodborne pathogens provision covers the handling and transport of contaminated laundry for the protection of employees; however, the OSHA regulation does not have specific requirements for actual laundering procedures for assuring infection control. OSHA’s authority is limited to the protection of workers. However, there are existing infection control guidelines set by the CDC. In the June 6, 2003, Guidelines for Environmental Infection Control in Health-Care Facilities, CDC provides guidance for the handling, cleaning, and disinfection of contaminated laundry.
