General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to: (a) Health care workers employed by Oral Kare were exposed to the hazards of being infected by Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) through possible direct contact with blood or other body fluids during dental examinations and procedures. Health care workers poten- tially exposed include dental assistant(s), dental hygienist(s), dentists and sterilizing technician(s). Feasible and useful abatement methods for reducing this hazard, among others are: (1) Provide a Hepatitis Vaccination Program to address all circumstances warranting such vaccination, including exposures to blood and/or body fluids to mucous membranes, open cuts, and needlesticks/instrument punctures to intact skin. Identify all employees at a substantial risk of directly contacting body fluids. All such employees shall be offered the Hepatitis B Vaccination in amounts and at times prescribed by standard medical practice.
