OSHA regulations on bloodborne pathogens would come into force in this circumstance because Eric and the apartment manager were injured and may have been exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials from the dog bites and lacerations. The maintenance worker who provided first aid may also have been exposed. Therefore, OSHA regulations on bloodborne pathogens would require the employer to provide training, personal protective equipment, and other measures to protect employees from exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
