Guidelines and Instructions for Developing a Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Plan - Exposure Determination - Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH)

The first thing your plan must include is a list of job classifications of employees who are potentially exposed to blood or other potentially infectious material. There are actually two groups of jobs you must identify:

1. those job classifications where all employees are exposed, and
2. those job classifications where only some employees are exposed.

For this second classification, you must also identify the tasks that could result in exposure. You do not have to identify every individual task, but instead can group closely related tasks under a single heading. For example, disposing of needles, cleaning scalpels, and picking up broken glass could all be grouped as "sharps handling".
