HEPATITIS B VIRUS IMMUNITY REQUIREMENTS
In accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements, employers must
make Hepatitis B vaccinations available at no cost to employees who have an occupational exposure to the
Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Body art practitioners are required to submit evidence of current HBV immunity in
conjunction with registration materials. This includes records of Hepatitis B vaccinations and booster shots.
If a practitioner declines vaccination against HBV, he/she must submit a signed declination agreement from
his/her employer. See below for declination statement.
Contact Occupational Safety & Health Administration (www.osha.gov) for additional information.

“I understand that due to my occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials I may be at
risk of acquiring Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. I have been given the opportunity to be vaccinated with
Hepatitis B vaccine, at no charge to myself. However, I decline the Hepatitis B vaccination at this time. I
understand that by declining this vaccine, I continue to be at risk of acquiring HBV. If in the future I continue to
have occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials and I want to be vaccinated with
the Hepatitis B vaccine, I can receive the vaccination series at no charge to me.”
