Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0800-01-10-.01 - PURPOSE
(1) The purpose of these rules is to address
the problem of needlesticks and other sharp injuries resulting in bloodborne
pathogen exposure incidents. Changes in bloodborne disease trends have been
reported, and engineering controls have been developed and made available, all
of which impact health and safety of employees. The requirements in these rules
for procedures and engineering and work practice controls provide a clear
assignment to employers to address the use of sharps injury prevention
technology.
