Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Health care facilities by law have to select safer needle devices and involve employees in identi-fying and choosing the devices. The needlestick legislation did not address the use of Universal Precautions, provision of needle disposal boxes, or incineration of all infectious wastes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
OSHA is part of the DOL. The Blood-borne Pathogen Standard became effective in 2002. This act clarified the responsibility of employers to select safer needle devices as they become availa-ble and to involve employees in identifying and choosing the devices. The updated standard also required employers to maintain a log of injuries from contaminated sharps. The DOD is not in-volved in these activities.
