What defines "Occupational Exposure"?


Occupational exposure refers to contact with blood or Other Potentially Infectious Materials (OPIM) that occurs while a person is performing their job duties.


How do bloodborne pathogens enter the body during occupational exposure?


Contact can occur through mucous membranes (eyes, mouth), non-intact skin, or through parenteral piercing of the skin, such as needlesticks, human bites, cuts, or abrasions.


What are examples of Other Potentially Infectious Materials (OPIM)?


OPIM includes body fluids that can contain blood, saliva in dental procedures, body fluids that are difficult to identify, and cells, tissues, or organs from humans or infected experimental animals.


Are healthcare workers the only ones at risk?


No. While dentists, doctors, and nurses are at risk, many other occupations face exposure, including emergency responders, laundry service workers, and correctional staff.


How many workers does the CDC estimate are at risk?


The CDC estimates that approximately 5.6 million workers are at risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
