Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 10 MAS 226 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Federal Rules Protect Workers Too
Captions available
The idea
Federal workplace safety rules protect health care workers from bloodborne infections and hazardous chemicals.
In practice
The bloodborne pathogens standard covers anyone with occupational exposure to blood; the hazard communication standard covers the chemicals used at work.
Where people slip
Both rules give you rights as well as duties, and the employer owes you protection.
