Employees (daycare workers) required to provide first aid are covered by 1910.1030
OSHA requirements are set by statute, standards and regulations. Our interpretation letters explain these requirements and how they apply to particular circumstances, but they cannot create additional employer obligations. This letter constitutes OSHA's interpretation of the requirements discussed. Note that our enforcement guidance may be affected by changes to OSHA rules. Also, from time to time we update our guidance in response to new information. To keep apprised of such developments, you can consult OSHA's website at https://www.osha.gov.

This is in response to your letter of August 9, 1999 addressed to Mr. Kevin Landkrohn of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Your letter was forwarded to OSHA's Office of Health Compliance Assistance. You requested an interpretation on 29 CFR 1910.1030, "Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens," as it applies to employees of a daycare center.
