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 />
