The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has promulgated a standard, expected to become mandatory in mid 1991, designed to protect employees from all exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials. Employers should begin now to institute an infection control plan. Methods of compliance of the standard include: universal precautions, engineering and work practice controls, personal protective equipment, and housekeeping. The occupational health nurse should coordinate development, maintenance, and revision of a program to comply with the OSHA regulations. The occupational health nurse should also educate management about the hazards of bloodborne pathogens and assist them in complying with the final standard so that a safe and healthy work environment can be achieved.
职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）已颁布一项标准，预计1991年年中起将成为强制性标准，旨在保护员工免受所有血液及其他潜在感染性物质的接触。雇主现在就应开始制定感染控制计划。符合该标准的方法包括：普遍预防措施、工程和工作实践控制、个人防护设备以及内务管理。职业健康护士应协调制定、维护和修订一项符合OSHA规定的计划。职业健康护士还应就血源性病原体的危害对管理层进行教育，并协助他们遵守最终标准，以便实现安全健康的工作环境。
