Guidelines

These regulations apply only to private employers and their employees, unless adopted by a State agency and applied to other groups such as public employees. Reference is also made to the OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.1030, Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens, since employees responding to medical emergencies must use universal precautions.

Medical services and first aid at construction sites covered by the OSHA construction standard 29 CFR 1926.50 are not addressed as part of this checklist. See the checklist for General Safety and Health Provisions for Construction.
