EXPOSURE
CONTROL PLAN
Introduction
Dear Investigator:
Welcome to the Exposure Control Plan (ECP) development
site. To save you time and effort, EH&S has developed
a generic ECP which you can modify to meet the compliance
requirements for the Blood Borne Pathogen Exposure Control
Standard issued by OSHA. This Standard sets forth the requirements
for personnel and environmental protection from pathogens
that may contaminate human blood and blood associated materials.
While it is highly unlikely that the human source materials
you may work with contain these pathogens, OSHA requires that
we adopt a conservative approach to risk management. In essence,
LBNL and all other organizations that have developed compliance
programs manage human blood and blood associated materials
as if they did contain pathogens.
Once
you have completed your plan, please email or send a copy
to Paul Blodgett, EH&S Biosafety Officer for review by
the Institutional Biosafety Committee. Please make a copy
of the plan available to your staff. Should you need
assistance in the development of your Plan please contact
EH&S using the ECP
Questions
web page or call Paul Blodgett at ext. 6218.
It
is necessary for each PI to produce an Exposure Control Plan
by completing the following ECP
Plan Form .
This form can be downloaded from this site in MS Word format.
As
you review this ECP, questions (marked
in green)
will be asked which you will need to answer to complete your
individual plan. A MS Word ECP Template can be downloaded
onto your computer from the ECP Plan
Form page.
