I just had to pass along this post from our sister blog, OSHA Healthcare Advisor, as it actually connects William Shakespeare’s prose to OSHA “regualtory speak” in the bloodborne pathogens standard.
I’m not a big Shakespeare fan, but this one had me laughing out loud a few times. Well worth a read.
