Basics of Bloodborne Diseases Exposure Prevention Quiz
5
Bloodborne Pathogens
Pathogenic micro-organisms present in human blood that can lead to diseases
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Hepatitis B (HBV) Hepatitis C (HCV)
6
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
HIV is the virus that leads to AIDS HIV depletes the immune system HIV does not survive well outside the body Saliva, tears, sweat
Hepatitis B (HBV)
1—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 blood
8
Hepatitis C (HCV)
Hepatitis C is the most common chronic bloodborne infection in the United States
Symptoms include: jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, intermittent nausea, vomiting
May lead to chronic liver disease and death
9
Potentially Infectious Bodily Fluids
Blood Saliva, vomit, urine Semen or vaginal
secretions Skin, tissue, cell
cultures Other body fluids
10
Potential Transmission
Contact with another person’s blood or bodily fluid that may contain blood
Mucous membranes: eyes, mouth, nose
Non-intact skin Contaminated
sharps/needles
11
Potential ExposureTasks and Procedures

13
Exposure Control Plan (ECP)
Review and update annually Reflect changes in technology Document use of safer medical devices Ask employees for their input
14
Exposure Control Plan (ECP)
Potential exposure determination Safe work practices Decontaminating equipment Selecting and using Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) Handling bio-waste Handling Laundry Labels and signs Training requirements Recordkeeping requirements
15
Who Must be Trained
All employees with occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious material (OPIM)
Employees who are trained in first aid and CPR as responders

18
Universal Precautions
Treat all blood and bodily fluids as if they are contaminated
Proper cleanup and decontamination
Custodial work—latex gloves
19
Protective Equipment
Bleeding control—latex gloves
Spurting blood—latex gloves, protective clothing (smocks or aprons), respiratory mask, eye/face protection (goggles, glasses, or face shield)
Post-accident cleanup—latex gloves
Custodial work—latex gloves
20
Decontamination
Wear protective gloves Disinfectant/cleaner
provided in bodily fluid disposal kit
Solution of 1/4 cup bleach per gallon of water
Properly dispose of contaminated PPE, towels, rags
21
Safe Work Practices
Remove contaminated PPE or clothing as soon as possible
Clean and disinfect contaminated equipment and work surfaces
Thoroughly wash up immediately after exposure
Properly dispose of contaminated items
22
Regulated Medical Waste
Liquid or semi-liquid blood or OPIM (other potentially infectious materials)
Contaminated items that would release blood or OPIM when compressed
Contaminated sharps Pathological and microbiological waste
containing blood or OPIM
23
Labels and Signs
Labels must include the Universal Biohazard Symbol, and the term “Biohazard” must be attached to:•containers of regulated
biohazard waste• refrigerators or freezers
containing blood or OPIM•containers used to store,
transport, or ship blood or OPIM
24
Hepatitis B Vaccination
Strongly endorsed by medical communities
Shown to be safe for infants, children, and adults
Offered to all potentially exposed employees
Provided at no cost to Category 1 & 2 employees
Declination form
25
Exposure Incident
A specific incident of contact with potentially infectious bodily fluid
If there are no infiltrations of mucous membranes or open skin surfaces, it is not considered an occupational exposure
Report all accidents involving blood or bodily fluids Post-exposure medical evaluations are offered Report all exposure incidents to ESD 101 W/C Rep
509-789-3516 or 1-800-531-4290
26
Post-exposure Evaluation
Confidential medical evaluation
Document route of exposure
Identify source individual Test source individual’s
blood (with individual’s consent)
Provide results to exposed employee
27
