Bloodborne pathogens

27 Jan 2020 7:15 AM | Deleted user

All employees want to work in a safe environment. As an employer we want to take the necessary measures that all employees know the safety precautions when it comes to Bloodborne Pathogens. This includes knowing about HBV HIV and the symptoms but also that these diseases do not happen right away and can take years for symptoms to appear.

All employees can take precautions by wearing the right PPE gloves and eyewear, and dispensing of their used gloves properly. Each employee can cone in contact with Bloodborne Pathogens thru blood,vomit,mucus membranes, cuts,bites or abrasions. Also no eating, drinking and applying lip balm in an area where you can be exposed to Bloodborne Pathogens.

Every employer is responsible for providing at no cost HBV vaccine to their employees after training and within 10 days before an assignment. Employers are to have an exposure control plan reviewed annually, and are to keep on file for 3 years any exposure.

Among so many other things, it is very important that an employer provides a safe environment for his employees and those they come in contact with.
