Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback
SafeWork NSW has drafted the new How to manage blood borne virus (BBV) exposure risks in the workplace – hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and HIV code of practice.
We are proposing this new code of practice will replace the 2004 Control of work-related exposure to hepatitis and HIV (blood-borne) viruses code of practice.
Following consultation with stakeholders, we have drafted a new code of practice that better meets modern safety standards and new ways of working. The new code provides information and guidance to make sure risks from blood borne virus exposure are managed according to current work health and safety laws.
Tell us what you think
We are asking for your feedback to make sure the new code:
- is relevant
- is easy to understand
- supports current and emerging work practices and technologies.
Your response will help make sure the new code supports industry’s needs and protects workers and the community.
