Prevention

Exposure prevention is extremely important to avoid transmissible diseases. If exposed, early intervention and management of potentially infectious diseases can minimize the impact of bloodborne pathogens. 🛡️ Follow Universal Precautions

  • Treat all blood and bodily fluids as potentially infectious.
  • Assume exposure risk is present, even if the source appears healthy.
🧤 Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
  • Wear gloves, face shields, gowns, and eye protection as needed.
  • Replace PPE immediately if damaged or contaminated.
🧼 Practice Good Hygiene
  • Wash hands thoroughly after removing gloves or contact with blood/OPIM.
  • Avoid touching your face during and after exposure until hands are clean.
🧹 Handle Sharps Safely
  • Never recap, bend, or break needles.
  • Dispose of sharps in designated, puncture-resistant containers.
🧯 Clean and Disinfect Surfaces
  • Use approved disinfectants on contaminated surfaces and equipment.
  • Follow proper spill cleanup procedures.
📋 Report and Respond
  • Immediately report any exposure incidents to your supervisor.
  • Follow your facility’s exposure control plan and seek medical evaluation.
