HBV is the most common and serious
liver infection in the world
Blood infected with HBV can remain
infectious for up to 7 days
Most people do not have noticeable
symptoms when first infected
Symptoms may include fever, fatigue,
nausea and vomiting, jaundice, and a
bloated stomach
HBV may cause liver failure
PPT-SM-BP 2016

HCV also causes liver disease
Most people infected with HCV show no
symptoms
Symptoms may include fever, lack of
energy, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain,
and jaundice
HCV can cause cirrhosis of the liver and
liver failure decades after infection
PPT-SM-BP 2016

HIV can be spread through unprotected
sex with an infected partner or contact
with infected blood
People may develop flu-like
symptoms a few months after
infection
PPT-SM-BP 2016

Other symptoms may appear
years later and include
Fatigue
Weight loss
Frequent fevers and sweats
Short-term memory loss

HIV can lead to acquired
immunodeficiency virus (AIDS)

You can be exposed to bloodborne
pathogens any time you give first
aid to another person
PPT-SM-BP 2016
8
According to the BLS, there are roughly
3,000,000 occupational injuries every year.
This means it is very likely that you will give first
aid to another worker at some point during your
career.

Your company must train you on bloodborne
pathogens and diseases and how to prevent
exposure
PPT-SM-BP 2016
Your company must also have an
exposure control plan that outlines
how workers will be protected
from exposure
10
Bloodborne pathogens can be transmitted
through blood and other bodily fluids
PPT-SM-BP 2016
You can be exposed to bloodborne
pathogens through
a. Ingestion
b. Sexual contact
c. Direct blood-to-blood contact
d. Using dirty needles
e. Contact with mucous
membranes and open cuts
and sores
11
You can prevent exposure
to bloodborne pathogens
in several ways, including
universal precautions
When you take universal
precautions, you treat all
blood, bodily fluids, and any
other objects as if they
are infected
PPT-SM-BP 2016
12
Prevent exposure by taking
advantage of available
engineering and
administrative controls
PPT-SM-BP 2016
13
Engineering controls include using
 Sharps containers for disposing of
used needles
 Mechanical devices to pick up
contaminated items
 Self-capping syringes
PPT-SM-BP 2016
14
Administrative controls include
using
Proper housekeeping, sanitation,
and disposal procedures
Clearly labeling sharps containers
Not eating, drinking, or
applying makeup in work areas
PPT-SM-BP 2016
15
The last line of defense against exposure
is to use PPE, such as




PPT-SM-BP 2016
Latex gloves
Safety glasses and faceshields
Protective clothing
Ventilation barriers
16
You can also prevent exposure by
receiving the HBV vaccine
 If you can reasonably expect to be exposed
to blood and bodily fluids on the job, your
company is required to offer you an HBV
vaccine at no cost
 The vaccine reduces your chances of
infection
 You can decline the vaccine or ask
for it at a later date
PPT-SM-BP 2016
17
If you come into contact with
potentially infectious blood, bodily
fluids, or contaminated objects
Immediately wash the exposed area
with soap and water
Report the incident and get a medical
evaluation through your company
