29 CFR 1910.1030(f)(1)(i): The employer did not make available the hepatitis B vaccine and vaccination series to all employees who have occupational exposure: Where employees, including both medical assistants and employee physicians (past and present), had occupational exposure, during procedures such as, but not limited to, office surgical intervention, ulceration treatment, post-operation wound care, debridement of ulcers, wound vacuum treatment procedures, avulsion treatments where blood existed, callous shaving where blood was drawn, clean-up after patient treatment, and handling of blood contaminated waste, those employees were not offered the hepatitis B vaccination series. (Note: There were no records available to show if all employees with potential exposure had the three series of shots for hepatitis B.) Abatement documentation is required for this violation. IN THE ALTERNATIVE: 29 CFR 1910.1030(f)(2)(iv): The employer did not assure that employees who declined to accept hepatitis B vaccination signed the statement in appendix A (declination form): No declination forms could be produced at the time of the inspection.
