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 appropriate medical follow-up procedures were not implemented for health care workers in job Categories I and II located throughout the hospital who were exposed to the hazard of being potentially infected by HBV and/or HIV through direct contact with blood or other body fluids. Feasible and useful abatment methods for reducing this hazard among others are: Implementation of follow-up procedures after possible exposure to HIV/ HBV. a) If a health care worker has a percutaneous (needlestick or cut) or mucous membrane (splash to eye, nasal mucosa, or mouth) exposure to body fluids or has a cutaneous exposure to blood when the worker's skin is chapped, abraded, or otherwise nonintact, the source patient shall be informed of the incident and tested for HIV and HBV infections, after consent is obtained. b) If patient consent is refused or if the source patient tests positive the health care worker shall be evaluated clinically and by HIV antibody testing as soon as possible and advised to report and seek medical evaluation for any acute febrile illness that occurs within 12 weeks after exposure. HIV seronegative workers shall be retested 6 weeks post-exposure and on a periodic basis thereafter (12 weeks and 6 months after exposure). c) Follow up procedures shall be taken for health care workers exposed or potentially exposed to HIV. The types of procedures depends on the immunization status of the worker (i.e., whether HBV vaccination has been received and antibody response is adequate) and the HBV serologic status of the source patient. The CDC Immunization Practice Advisory Committee has published its recommendations regarding HBV post-exposure prophylaxis in table format in the June 7, 1985, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
