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) Dental assistants are exposed to the hazard of being infected by

An IC program must address all of the areas outlined in OSHA
Instruction CPL 2-2.44B.
2) Training and Education of Health Care Workers. All Health care
workers must receive education on precautionary measures, modes of
transmission, and the prevention of HBV, HIV and other blood-borne
