Microorganisms that are carried in the blood that can cause disease in humans Common BB Pathogen Diseases : Common BB Pathogen Diseases Malaria Brucellosis Syphilis Hepatitis B(HBV) Hepatitis C(HCV) Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) 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 No threat on contracting HIV through casual contact Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Hepatitis B (HBV) : 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 Symptoms can occur 1-9 months after exposure Hepatitis C (HCV) : 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 Potentially Infectious Bodily Fluids : Potentially Infectious Bodily Fluids Blood Saliva Vomit Urine Semen or vaginal secretions Skin tissue, cell cultures Any other bodily fluid Transmission Potential : Transmission Potential Contact with another person’s blood or bodily fluid that may contain blood Mucous membranes: eyes, mouth, nose Non-intact skin Contaminated sharps/needles Your Exposure Potential : Your Exposure Potential Industrial accident Administering first aid Post-accident cleanup Handling of returned product Janitorial or maintenance work Handling of any waste products Universal Precautions : Universal Precautions Use of proper PPE Treat all blood and bodily fluids as if they are contaminated Proper cleanup and decontamination Disposal of all contaminated material in the proper manner Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) : Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Anything that is used to protect a person from exposure Latex or Nitrile gloves, goggles, CPR mouth barriers, aprons, respirators PPE Rules to Remember : PPE Rules to Remember Always check PPE for defects or tears before using If PPE becomes torn or defective remove and get new Remove PPE before leaving a contaminated area Do not reuse disposable equipment Decontamination : Decontamination When cleaning up surfaces use Hepacide Quat® Do an initial wipe up Spray and allow it to stand for ten minutes then wipe up Dispose of all wipes in biohazard containers PPE should be removed and disposed of in biohazard containers Hand Washing : Hand Washing Wash hands immediately after removing PPE Use a soft antibacterial soap A hand sanitizer can be used but wash with soap and water as soon as possible. Regulated Medical Waste : Regulated Medical Waste Liquid or semi-liquid blood or other potentially infectious material(OPIM) Contaminated items that would release blood or OPIM when compressed Contaminated sharps Pathological and microbiological waste containing blood or OPIM Signs & Labels : Signs & Labels 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 Exposure Incident : 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 Post-exposure Evaluation : Post-exposure Evaluation Confidential medical evaluation Document route of exposure Identify source individual Test source individuals blood (with individuals consent) Provide results to exposed employee Hepatitis B Vaccination : Hepatitis B Vaccination Strongly endorsed by medical communities Offered to all potentially exposed employees Provided at no cost to employees Declination form Recordkeeping : Recordkeeping Medical records include: Hepatitis B vaccination status Post-exposure evaluation and follow-up results Training records include: Training dates Contents of the training Signature of trainer and trainee In Conclusion : In Conclusion BB pathogen rules are in place for your health and safety Failure to follow them is a risk that does not need to be taken Slide 22: www.luxetvitan.com You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
