Engineering controls
Rationale: Engineering controls are structural or mechanical devices that are designed to minimize exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Work practice controls are protocols that promote the behaviors necessary to properly use engineering controls. Standard precautions are an application of the concept that all blood, bloody fluids, secretions, excretions, and moist body substances are to be treated as if contaminated. Exposure controls are the combination and implementation of engineering and work practice controls.
