The environmentally preferable cleaning products used at Yellowstone and Grand Teton Parks were not registered by EPA as tuberculocidal or HIV-1/ Hepatitis B disinfectants. OSHA's blood-borne pathogen rule (29 CFR 1910, 1030) requires that when workers encounter blood-borne pathogens, they must use a product registered by EPA as a tuberculocidal (List B) or HIV-1 / Hepatitis B (List D) disinfectant for those situations. Examples of active ingredients in products registered as tuberculocidal disinfectants include citric acid, and sodium hypochlorite at various solutions. List B and List D can be found at National Antimicrobial Information Network. Exit EPA disclaimer
