Infectious microorganisms, like hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus, live in human blood.  Workers in many occupations may be at risk for exposure if the workers could contact another person’s blood or other bodily fluids.  OSHA requires employers to have an exposure control plan AND to train workers about engineering, administrative and personal protective controls to protect potentially exposed workers.

Sometimes, people must work in spaces that are not intended for continuous occupancy.  They may be large enough to enter, but the ways in and out of those spaces is limited.  OSHA calls them “Confined Spaces.”  If a work space meets those criteria AND contains a hazardous or potentially hazardous atmosphere, then OSHA refers to it as a “Permit-required Confined Space.”  Workers must be trained to work in these spaces.
