Reasonably anticipated skin, eye, mucous membrane, or parenteral contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials that may result from employees performing their duties, (The Nebraska Medical Center BBP Policy, 2002). The term "reasonably anticipated contact" includes the potential for contact as well as actual contact with blood or OPIM. Lack of history of blood exposures among designated first aid personnel of a particular manufacturing site, for instance, does not preclude coverage. "Reasonably anticipated contact" includes, among others, contact with blood or OPIM (including regulated waste) a well as incidents of needle sticks. For example, a compliance officer may document incidents in which an employee observes uncapped needles or contacts other regulated waste in order to substantiate "occupational exposure", (OSHA CPL 2-2.44D).
