Abstract: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that healthcare workers sustain nearly 600,000 percutaneous injuries annually involving contaminated sharps. In response to both the continued concern over such exposures and the technological developments which can increase employee protection, Congress passed the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act directing OSHA to revise the BBP Standard to establish requirements that employers identify and make use of effective and safer medical devices. That revision was published on Jan. 18, 2001, and became effective April 18, 2001. The revision to OSHA's BBP Standard added new requirements for employers, including additions to the exposure control plan and maintenance of a sharps injury log. The purpose of this pilot project al are to understand how bloodborne pathogens exposure control plans are implemented in private dental practices, an important segment of the non-hospital based healthcare system. The proposed work will draw on research-to-practice principles and will be assisted by a strong network of dental professional groups, trade associations, and government agencies. Specific objectives are to: inventory existing exposure control plans in private dental practices; determine whether the exposure control plan or other resource is actively used to prevent occupational exposures; determine available resources and barriers to use such as relevant educational materials, knowledge, costs, availability; and develop strategies to overcome key barriers to compliance.
