need for the Bloodborne Pathogens
Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), its impact
on small businesses, its effectiveness in
protecting workers, and all other issues
raised by Section 610 of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act and Section 5 of
Executive Order 12866. It would be
particularly helpful for commenters to
suggest how the Standard could be
modified to reduce the burden on
employers while maintaining or
improving employee protection.
Furthermore, comments would be
appreciated on the following topics:
• Exposures in non-hospital settings;
• Recent technological advances in
needlestick prevention;
• Effectiveness of needlestick
prevention programs;
• New, emerging health risks from
bloodborne pathogens; and
• Any other experiences related to
compliance with the standard.
Public comments will assist the Agency
in determining whether to retain the
Standard unchanged, to initiate
rulemaking to revise or rescind it, or to
develop improved compliance
assistance.
Comments must be submitted by
August 12, 2010. Comments should be
submitted to the addresses and in the
manner specified at the beginning of the
notice.
