It is the choice of the employer whether or not to comply with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard. True or false?

Answer

The correct answer is False. Compliance with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards, including the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), is a legal requirement for all employers with workers who have occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. It is not an optional choice; failure to comply can result in significant legal penalties and fines.
