  1. Bloodborne pathogens exposure control
  2. Hepatitis B vaccination offer to dental workers
  3. Measles vaccination requirements
  4. Hazard communication (chemical safety / SDS)
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Measles vaccination requirements

  • A. Incorrect — OSHA DOES regulate this. OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) specifically covers HBV and HIV exposure.
  • B. Incorrect — OSHA DOES regulate this. OSHA requires employers to offer free HBV vaccination to workers with occupational blood exposure risk.
  • C. Correct. OSHA does NOT regulate measles vaccination. Measles is an airborne disease managed by public health authorities (CDC, state health departments). OSHA focuses on occupational bloodborne pathogen exposures — not airborne/respiratory vaccine-preventable diseases.
  • D. Incorrect — OSHA DOES regulate this. The Hazard Communication Standard requires SDS and labeling of hazardous chemicals.
