The standard is designed to minimize the risk of occupational exposure to human blood or other potentially infectious materials.

Oakland University requires that employees engaged in occupations that require procedures or other occupation-related tasks that involve exposure or reasonably anticipated exposure to blood or other potentially infections material or that involve a likelihood for spills or splashes of blood or other potentially infections material participate in bloodborne pathogens training at the time of initial assignment and at least annually thereafter.

Further details regarding OU's guide to the standard are contained in the Oakland University Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan.
