Why are we here?Why are we here?OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard
Required to complete training…
Anyone whose job requires exposure to bloodborne pathogens
Employees that are trained in CPR and first aid
The more you know, the better you will perform in real situations!
What is a Bloodborne Pathogen?What is a Bloodborne Pathogen?
Bloodborne pathogens are viruses and bacteria that can cause infection in humans.
These include hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and human immunodeficiency virus – or HIV
Individuals exposed to these pathogens risk serious illness
Potentially Infectious Bodily FluidsPotentially Infectious Bodily FluidsSalivaVomit BloodUrineSemen or vaginal
secretionsSkin tissue, cell
culturesAny other bodily fluid
Common Bloodborne Pathogen Common Bloodborne Pathogen DiseasesDiseasesMalariaBrucellosisSyphilisHepatitis B (HVB)Hepatitis C (HVC)Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Hepatitis BHepatitis B1—1.25 million
Americans are chronically infected
Symptoms include: jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, intermittent nausea , vomiting
May lead to chronic liver disease, liver cancer, and death
Vaccination available since 1982
HBV can survive for at least one week in
dried bloodSymptoms can
occur 1-9 months after exposure
Hepatitis B...100 times easier to
catch than HIV!Get vaccinated
against this disease!
Hepatitis CHepatitis CHepatitis C is the most common chronic
bloodborne infection in the United StatesSymptoms include: jaundice, fatigue,
abdominal pain, loss of appetite, intermittent nausea, vomiting
May lead to chronic liver disease and death
There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C
HIV/AIDSHIV/AIDSHIV – Human Immunodeficiency Virus
AIDS – Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS
The virus destroys certain blood cells that are crucial to the body’s immune system
HIV does not survive well outside of the human body
HIV/AIDS is not spread through casual contact
Caused by HIV, the immune system is too weak to fight off certain infections
Chances are…Chances are…
Transmission PotentialTransmission PotentialContact with another
person’s blood or bodily fluid that may contain blood
Mucous membranes: eyes, mouth, nose
Non-intact skinContaminated
sharps/needles
Your Exposure PotentialYour Exposure PotentialIndustrial accidentAdministering first

maintenance workHandling of any
waste products
Universal PrecautionsUniversal PrecautionsAn approach that treats
all blood and bodily fluids as if they are infectious
Always use proper personal protection equipment (PPE)
Ensure proper clean-up and decontamination
Dispose of all contaminated material in the proper manner
Personal Protection EquipmentPersonal Protection Equipment(PPE)(PPE)
Anything that does not permit blood or potentially infectious material to come in contact with the person or their personal clothing, such as gloves, gowns, face masks or shields, eye protection, respirators
Rules to Remember…Rules to Remember…
Always check PPE for defects or tears before using
If PPE becomes torn or defective, remove and get new equipment
Remove PPE before leaving a contaminated area
Dispose of PPE in approved mannerDo not reuse disposable equipment
DecontaminationDecontaminationContact custodial staff whenever possibleAlways wear personal protective equipmentWhen cleaning up surfaces, use approved
suppliesDo an initial wipe upSpray and allow it to stand for ten minutes
then wipe upDispose of all wipes in biohazard containersPPE should be removed and
disposed of in biohazard containers
HandwashingHandwashingThe use of gloves does
not eliminate the need for handwashing
Wash hands immediately after removing PPE
Use a soft, antibacterial soap
An alcohol-based hand sanitizer may be used unless hands are visibly soiled
Regulated Medical WasteRegulated Medical WasteLiquid or semi-liquid blood or other potentially
infectious material(OPIM)Contaminated items that would release blood or
OPIM when compressedContaminated sharpsPathological and
microbiological waste containing blood or OPIM
Signs and LabelsSigns and LabelsLabels must include the
universal biohazard symbol, and the term “Biohazard” must be attached to:containers of regulated
biohazard wasterefrigerators or
freezers containing blood or OPIM
containers used to store, transport, or ship blood or OPIM
Exposure IncidentExposure IncidentA specific incident of contact with
potentially infectious bodily fluidIf there are no infiltrations of mucous
membranes or open skin surfaces, it is not considered an occupational exposure
Report all exposures involving blood or bodily fluids as soon as possible
Complete documentation of exposure incident
Post-exposure medical evaluations offered
Post-Exposure EvaluationPost-Exposure EvaluationConfidential

individual blood (with individual consent)
Provide results to exposed employee
In Conclusion….In Conclusion….Bloodborne pathogen rules are in
place for your health and safetyFollowing these rules decreases
