Bloodborne Pathogens Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause diseases in humans Major bloodborne pathogens include hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) PPT-SM-BP 2016 2 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 3 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 4 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 5 Other symptoms may appear years later and include Fatigue Weight loss Frequent fevers and sweats Short-term memory loss PPT-SM-BP 2016 6 HIV can lead to acquired immunodeficiency virus (AIDS) PPT-SM-BP 2016 7 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. PPT-SM-BP 2016 9 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 PPT-SM-BP 2016 18 Protect yourself from bloodborne pathogens using engineering and administrative controls and PPE Report any exposure immediately PPT-SM-BP 2016 19 Copyright © 2016 by PEC/Premier Safety Operations, LLC Name: Date: 6.
