Facilities are not re
quired to collect data for exposures that involve intact skin or exposures to
body fluids
that
do not carry a risk of
bloodborne pathogen transmission
(e.g., feces, nasal
secretions, saliva, sputum, sweat, tears
, urine and vomitus) unless these
are visibly
contaminated
with blood
.
However, facilities that routinely collect data on such exposures may enter this
information into the system.
