What is a Bloodborne Pathogen?
• Any disease causing organism that is present in human blood or other potentially infectious material that can infect & cause disease in persons exposed to fluids containing that organism.
Examples:• HIV, Hepatitis B & C, Malaria, Syphilis,
Brucellosis, Viral Hemorrhagic fever
![Page 4: Bloodborne Pathogens Training OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 Prepared by Terry Richardson Environmental Health & Safety](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce05503460f949a9837/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Hepatitis: • Causes an inflammation of the
liver. • HBV can survive outside the body
for 7 days and still be infectious
HIV: • Disables the immune system and
causes AIDS.• Will only survive outside the body
for a few minutes

What fluids transmit BBPs?
• Fluids directly linked to transmission– blood, blood products– semen & vaginal
secretions– internal body fluids– cultures containing
bloodborne pathogens
![Page 6: Bloodborne Pathogens Training OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 Prepared by Terry Richardson Environmental Health & Safety](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce05503460f949a9837/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What fluids transmit BBPs?
• ONLY when containing visible blood:– feces–nasal secretions–spit/mucous–sweat– tears–urine–vomit
![Page 7: Bloodborne Pathogens Training OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 Prepared by Terry Richardson Environmental Health & Safety](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce05503460f949a9837/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why is this Important?
There is no cure for most of the following:
• HIV• Hepatitis B• Most of the remaining
BBPs
![Page 8: Bloodborne Pathogens Training OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 Prepared by Terry Richardson Environmental Health & Safety](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce05503460f949a9837/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How can you be exposed to BBPs?
• Contact with blood or infectious body fluids through:– Broken skin– Mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth)– Saliva injected from a bite can also transmit
HBV– Needle sticks
![Page 9: Bloodborne Pathogens Training OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 Prepared by Terry Richardson Environmental Health & Safety](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce05503460f949a9837/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How can you Protect Yourself?
• Follow General Safety Practices• Use Equipment Properly• Use Personal Protective equipment (PPE)
such as gloves, goggles, coveralls, etc.• Use Universal Precautions• Vaccinate against HBV
![Page 10: Bloodborne Pathogens Training OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 Prepared by Terry Richardson Environmental Health & Safety](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce05503460f949a9837/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Treat all blood, bodily fluids, excretions, etc. as if they were infectious.
• Always wear gloves when handling any material and use other PPE as needed.
Universal Precautions includes:• Hand Washing• Environmental Control• PPE• Disinfection
• Treat all blood, bodily fluids, excretions, etc. as if they were infectious.

• Leave disinfectant on the spill at least 10 minutes
• Clean from outside of spill towards center of spill
• Dispose of soiled materials in Biohazard bag– Material used for cleanup is infectious waste
• Remove contaminated PPE, gloves last.• Wash hands after removing gloves
• Leave disinfectant on the spill at least 10 minutes

Declination Statement
I understand that due to my occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials I may be at risk of acquiring hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. I have been given the opportunity to be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine, at no charge to myself. However, I decline hepatitis B vaccination at this time. I understand that by declining this vaccine, I continue to be at risk of acquiring hepatitis B, a serious disease. If in the future I continue to have occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials and I want to be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine, I can receive the vaccination series at no charge to me.
