Safety Sessions Your Company Name Here Place information such as date and/or safety slogan here Bloodborne Pathogens Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria that are carried in blood and can cause disease in people. Examples are Malaria , Syphilis, Brucellosis, Hepatitis B (HBV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Bloodborne pathogens can be transmitted through contact with infected human blood and other potentially infectious body fluids. At work, you can be exposed to bloodborne pathogens through accidental puncture from contaminated needles, broken glass, or other sharps. Contact between broken or damaged skin and infected body fluids. Or contact between mucous membranes and infected body fluids. Accident Reports…It could happen here While cleaning up broken glass containers of blood samples, a Lab assistant cut her hands and was directly exposed to the potentially contaminated fluids. After thoroughly washing the cut area, she reported the incident to her supervisor. After a series of test on both the lab assistant and the spilled fluid it was determined that the spilled blood contained Hepatitis B. The lab assistant was administered a series of Hepatitis-B Virus (HBV) Vaccinations. Further tests indicated that there was no HBV transmission to the lab assistant. Never clean up and contaminated material with your hands… even if you wear gloves. All potentially contaminated materials must be placed in proper containers that are marked “Bio-Hazard”. Only trained personnel are permitted to move or dispose of theses containers Safety Word Search Bloodborne pathogens are not transmitted through casual contact, since our skin provides an effective barrier. Situations in which protection should be used includes, providing first aid, cleaning up spills of blood or other body fluids or in medical situations involving care and treatment. Anyone who thinks that they may have come in contact with blood, body fluids or infected material should report it right away. When providing first aid, wear medical gloves. And avoid skin contact with blood and other body fluids. Find the following Safety Words above AIDS Bloodborne Containers Contaminated HIV Hepatitis Infectious Pathogens Report Wash
