Final answer:
The statement is false; OSHA requires annual bloodborne pathogens training for employees, not every five years.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question concerns whether OSHA mandates that employees who may be exposed to bloodborne pathogens receive training every 5 years. The statement is False. OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) mandates that employees must receive training on bloodborne pathogens annually, not every five years. Training needs to be provided upon initial assignment to tasks where occupational exposure may take place, and at least annually thereafter. Employers must also ensure that their employees receive further training when changes such as modification of tasks or procedures or institution of new tasks or procedures affect the employee's occupational exposure.
