3.3.4 Bloodborne Pathogens and Human Materials<br />

The federal OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard has comprehensive requirements for<br />

workers who are or may be exposed to BBPs or designated materials assumed to contain<br />

BBPs. LBNL uses the term “BBP materials” to describe the pathogens and materials covered<br />

by the OSHA standard. These BBP materials are summarized in Table 5 and discussed in the<br />

next paragraph. BMBL guidelines for working with human and mammalian cells and tissues are<br />

also discussed below.<br />
