Conclusion It is critical for all funeral and mortuary professionals to have a working knowledge of the CDC Standard Precautions and OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standards for the protection of all employees. The degree and type of application of the safety guidelines are dictated by the potential for transmission, type of pathogen, degree of exposure, and specific role of the employee. Hand hygiene guidelines must be followed along with proper assessment of potential safety hazards to determine the appropriate PPE and procedures for disinfection, labeling, isolation, and ventilation to protect all employees from contact with infectious material.
