(1)information about generally accepted protective barriers and preventive practices during job-related activities that may involve exposure to significant risk body substances. Preventive action should be taken by the employee when job-related activities may involve exposure to such body substances.

(3)availability of personal protective equipment for employees that is appropriate to the tasks being performed; and
(4)a system for monitoring preventive programs to assure compliance and safety.
(b)Every probation director shall develop, implement and maintain a policy/procedure for the management of individuals who may be exposed to significant risk body substances. The policy/procedure shall include, but is not limited to, the following:
(1)voluntary employee notification where exposure may have occurred ( e.g., a needle stick) to the probation director or his or her designee;
(2)availability of services for evaluating the circumstances of a reported exposure and providing appropriate follow-up of the exposed individual; and
(3)assurances for protection of confidentiality for those employees involved in reported exposures.
