Please direct all questions to Biosafety Officer Linda Hicks (IBC@mso.umt.edu).
The 猎奇重口 (UM) Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan is provided to eliminate or minimize the exposure of all UM employees and students to human blood or human blood products that might contain bloodborne pathogens. This plan is in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogen standard 29 CFR 1910.1030.
Bloodborne Pathogens Training
