Exposure Control Plan (ECP)

An Employer's Exposure Control Plan

An employer exposure control plan (ECP) is a requirement of 29 CFR 1910.1030(c) of the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Exposure Control Plan

The purpose of the ECP is to establish procedures to eliminate or minimize employee exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

Throughout the rest of the module, we'll take a closer look at each of the sections of a sample ECP.
