Employees covered by the bloodborne pathogens standard receive an explanation of this ECP during their initial training session. It will also be reviewed in their annual refresher training. All employees can review this plan at any time during their work shifts by contacting EH&S (619) 594-6778 or the employee’s supervisor. If requested, we will provide an employee with a copy of the ECP free of charge and within 15 days of the request.

Use the CalOSHA Exposure Control Plan for Bloodborne Pathogens booklet as a workbook to aid in the development of the Departmental Exposure Control Plan. This plan includes all elements required by the CalOSHA bloodborne pathogens standard (§8 CFR 5193). The intent of this booklet is to provide departments with an easy-to-use format that may be used as a template to develop a written exposure control plan tailored to the individual requirements of their department in conjunction with the exposure control plan for San Diego State University. Please allow all employees access via written or electronic copies to the department and university exposure control plan.
