HEPATITIS "B" PROGRAM
Objective: Provides reimbursement for the costs of shots and laboratory fees for employees whose occupational
duties in OMRDD operated/certified programs or other work settings might possibly involve exposure to blood
or other potentially infectious materials. New OSHA regulations (effective March 6, 1992) require each DDSO
to establish bloodborne pathogen "exposure control plans" to ensure the safety of workers whose job duties
could pose a hazard of bloodborne pathogen exposure. The new OSHA standards require employers to offer
the three-injection vaccination series free to employees within ten days of initial assignment to a job where
exposure can be "reasonably anticipated."
