OSHA does not classify urine as a bloodborne pathogen. Bloodborne pathogens, such as HIV and hepatitis B and C, are primarily transmitted through blood and certain other bodily fluids that can contain blood, such as semen or vaginal secretions. While urine is not considered a risk for transmission of these specific pathogens, it is important to follow proper hygiene practices and use personal protective equipment when handling any bodily fluids in a workplace setting.
