Are all employees who have been exposed to hepatitis B required to be vaccinated?
HRCalifornia
If an employee has an “occupational exposure” to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), the employer’s responsibilities are outlined in General Industry Safety Orders Section 5193, Bloodborne Pathogens, Subsection (f).
An “occupational exposure” is defined as a “reasonably anticipated skin, eye, mucous membrane or parenteral contact with blood or other OPIM that may result from the performance of an employee’s duties.”
