It is true that eating and/or drinking is prohibited in work areas with potential for exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms that live in human blood and can cause disease. Hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus are examples of pathogens (HIV). Sharps injuries and other sharps-related injuries can expose workers to bloodborne pathogens. First responders, housekeeping personnel in some industries, nurses, and other healthcare personnel are all at risk of being exposed to bloodborne pathogens.
An employer must implement an exposure control plan for the worksite that includes details on employee protection measures in order to reduce or eliminate the hazards of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Occupational exposure is most common among health care workers in surgery, emergency medicine, critical care, labor and delivery, and dialysis units. Mortuary and funeral services, hospital maintenance, and waste removal workers are also at risk of exposure.
