Quizplus · Accepted Answer

OSHA Standard Precautions are designed to reduce the risk of transmission of bloodborne pathogens, and therefore, apply to any situation where healthcare workers might come into contact with blood and certain other body fluids that might carry these pathogens. Blood is explicitly covered under these precautions, while intact skin, sweat, human hair, and fingernails/toenails are not considered to pose the same level of risk.
