TRAINING PROCEDURES • Read and discuss with employees BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS All employees of CSI may encounter routine or non - routine exposure to bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Therefore, the guidelines listed below are essential to minimize and /or eliminate employee exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. All employees should view the video "Bloodborne Pathogens" prior to reporting to the job site. Universal precautions - the first rule is to assume that all blood and other bodily fluids are infectious with HIV, HBV, or other bloodborne pathogens and must not come into contact with exposed skin, eyes, or mucous membranes. • PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) - gloves, goggles and /or glasses are to be worn when handling "red bag" or other tagged bio- hazard trash or waste. If you clean tables or counter tops, walls, and /or floors in labs or other areas contaminated with blood or other bodily fluids, you must wear gloves and glass /goggles before starting the cleaning process. Other specialized clothing may be required depending on size and /or location of the contaminant. ENGINEERING AND WORK PRACTICE CONTROLS: Employees MUST wash their hands and any other exposed skin with soap and water immediately following contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. • Employees MUST wash their hands immediately after removal of gloves or other PPE Eating, drinking, and smoking are prohibited in areas where there is a likelihood of occupational exposure to blood. EQUIPMENT: • Wet mops used in direct contact with blood or other potentially infectious fluids during the clean -up process MUST be disposed of immediately. Place mops in a "red bag" or other tagged bio- hazard container and dispose of properly. Treat it as hazardous waste. 25
