B. Review and Update of the Plan:
The County recognizes that it is important to keep our ECP up-to-date. To ensure this, the plan will be reviewed and updated as follows:
1. Annually, on or before July 1st of each year;
2. Whenever new or modified tasks and procedures are implemented which affect occupational exposure of employees;
3. Whenever employees' jobs are revised such that new instances of occupational exposure may occur; and
4. Whenever we establish new functional positions within our facility that may involve exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
The County also recognizes that the involvement of employees in reviewing and updating the ECP with respect to the procedures performed by employees in their respective work areas or departments is important to its success. Therefore, employees are encouraged to complete and forward to the Joint Labor/Management Safety Committee the "Bloodborne Pathogens Report/Recommendation" form attached as Exhibit "A." This may be accomplished by forwarding said Report to their labor representatives or to the Risk Manager.
