Form Acknowledging Sufficient Knowledge of Blood-Borne Pathogens
The Washington Administration Code (WAC) 118-04-120 requires knowledge of Blood-Borne
Pathogens as outlined below. You can meet this requirement by reading and signing this form
and returning it to the Membership Chair at WASART, P.O. Box 21, Enumclaw, WA 98022 or by
emailing it to [email protected]. Otherwise, you must take a class covering the
material and provide proof of that class to [email protected].
What is a Blood Borne Pathogen: microorganisms that are carried in the blood that can cause
disease in humans
Common Blood Borne Pathogen diseases: malaria; syphilis; Hepatitis B and C, Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Potentially Infectious Bodily Fluids: skin tissue; cell cultures; blood; saliva; vomit; urine; semen
or vaginal secretions; any other bodily fluid
Transmission Potential: contact with another person’s blood or bodily fluid that may contain
blood; mucous membranes = eyes, mouth, nose; open cuts or skin abrasions; contaminated
sharps/needles
Universal Precautions: use of proper Personal Protection Equipment (PPE); treat all blood and
bodily fluids as if contaminated; proper cleanup and decontamination; disposal of all
contaminated material in the proper manner

Nitrile gloves, goggles, CPR mouth barriers, aprons, respirators
Hand Washing: wash hands immediately after removing PPE; use an antibacterial soap; a hand
sanitizer can be used, but wash with soap and water as soon as possible
I have read and understood the above information on Blood Borne Pathogens. I understand I
will need to meet this requirement again in three years.
