Excerpts From Letter From OSHA To Post Medical RE: Needle Safety Act

(3/12/2001)    "After reviewing your product and its accompanying literature, if an employer, after considering frontline employee input, has evaluated the A.N.D., and determined it to be the safest, most effective engineering control available to prevent occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens, it would be acceptable."

"The final determination regarding compliance is made in the workplace by direct compliance officer observation of employee work practices, and taking into account all factors pertaining to the use of such a device at the particular worksite."
