BOP Program Statement 6130.01 § 5
RECORDKEEPING
The following are medical records and are maintained in the Employee Medical File (EMF) in
accordance with 5 CFR 293, Subpart E:
■ Copies of all results of examinations, medical testing, and follow-up procedures received
from the outside provider.
■ A copy of the completed BP-A1050, Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Assessment & Referral
Form.
Employee medical records must be kept confidential and are not to be disclosed or reported
without the employee’s express written consent to any person within or outside the BOP, except
as required by law. These records are maintained for the duration of employment plus 30 years,
in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1020.
Work-related needle stick injuries and cuts from sharps that are contaminated with another
person’s blood or other potentially infectious material must be entered on the OSHA 300 Log as
an injury. To protect the employee’s privacy, his/her name is not entered on the log. Instead,
“Privacy Case” is written in place of his/her name (29 CFR 1904.8 and 29 CFR 1904.29).
P6130.01 9/23/2016 7
Work-related needle stick injuries and cuts from sharps not contaminated with blood or other
infectious material, or when contamination is not known, are only recorded on the OSHA 300
Log if the case meets the recording criteria of 29 CFR 1904.7.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
