29 CFR 1910. 1030 Bloodborne Pathogens
Bloodborne Pathogens Goal Eliminate or Minimize Employee Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens at work
Purpose of Training Employees will learn about: • Bloodborne diseases • How to prevent exposure • How to handle possible exposure • Who is affected the most • Hepatitis B Vaccine • Our plan for prevention and protection
Could You Contract a Bloodborne Disease at Work? Administering first aid? Cleaning the restrooms? Using a tool covered with dried blood? A co-worker sneezes on you? Working in a sewer drain or manhole? Cleaning up after an accident? 10, 000 employees a year get a bloodborne disease at work.
Occupational Exposure Are you at Risk? Janitorial Staff – may clean up blood or OPIM Maintenance Staff – may clean up a machine after an injury First Aid Responders – any Jay Employee who is trained to administer First Aid and CPR in case of an accident or injury
Terms - Blood • Human Blood components, and products made from blood
Terms – Other Potentially Infectious Material (OPIM) OPIM • Semen, Vaginal Secretions • Amniotic Fluid, Cerebrospinal Fluid, Synovial Fluid • Pleural Fluid, Saliva, Sweat, Vomit, Urine • Skin, tissue, cell cultures • Other bodily fluids
Terms – Bloodborne Pathogens Microorganisms (germs) present in blood or other body fluids These germs can cause serious diseases
Terms – Exposure Incident • A specific eye, mouth, mucous membrane, or non-intact skin contact with blood or OPIM that results from the performance of work by an employee.

Common Bloodborne Pathogens Common bloodborne pathogens include: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Hepatitis B (HBV) Hepatitis C (HCV) Hepatitis A (HAV) Also includes: Syphilis-Malaria-Brucellosis
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) HIV is the virus that leads to AIDS is the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome HIV depletes the immune system so it can no longer fight diseases HIV is life threatening Currently there is NO VACCINE against HIV
HIV Facts HIV is not as infectious as Hepatitis B because there are not as many virus particles present in bodily fluids 1 teaspoon of blood contains about 15 HIV particles HIV is more fragile that Hepatitis B and can be easily destroyed on surfaces outside the body
Hepatitis B (HBV) HBV can live on surfaces at room temperature for up to 10 days, even if blood is dried It is smaller and more common than HIV In 1 tsp of blood, there can be up to one billion (1, 000, 000) HBV particles There are 1 to 1. 4 million chronic carriers in USA (according to CDC)
More on Hepatitis B Can lead to Cirrhosis, Liver Disease and Liver Cancer HBV is the most common form of Hepatitis 300, 000 new cases per year, with 10, 000 due to work exposure Recovery is good if properly diagnosed It is easier to catch than HIV Symptoms include jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, intermittent nausea and vomiting. VACCINATION has been available since 1982
Hepatitis C (HCV) Hepatitis C is the most common chronic bloodborne infection in the United States According to the CDC, there are 2. 7 to 3. 9 million people with Hepatitis C Symptoms include: jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, intermittent nausea, vomiting May lead to chronic liver disease and death There is NO VACCINE to prevent HCV
Hepatitis A (HAV) Contracted through contaminated food or drinking water which contains infected fecal matter There is NO VACCINE available to prevent HAV
Healthy Liver
HBV Infected Liver
Potential Transmission Contact with another person’s blood or other body fluid Mucous membranes: eyes, mouth, nose Non-intact skin Contaminated sharps/needles
Potential Exposure Industrial accident Administering first aid Post-accident cleanup Janitorial or maintenance work
Jay Industries, Inc. Exposure Control Plan (ECP) Potential exposure determination Safe work practices Decontamination Selecting and using PPE Handling biowaste Labels and signs Training requirements Recordkeeping requirements

29 CFR 1910. 132 Personal Protective Equipment
Personal Protective Equipment Safety Glasses Required at all metals divisions Required in certain processes at plastics divisions • When blowing off parts using compressed air • While using saws and lathes in the tool room • Whenever operation is labeled to use safety glasses (Kolene)
Personal Protective Equipment Hearing protection Although there are no areas at any division that require the use of hearing protection, certain tasks and operations are labeled that hearing protection is required. Please use hearing protection while performing these tasks.
Personal Protective Equipment Hearing Protection Hearing protection is made available to anyone that feels they are in need of protection from noise. Prolonged exposure generally causes permanent damage
Personal Protective Equipment Hearing Protection Noise is unwanted/unpleasant sound that may have a negative effect depending on: • loudness/frequency • duration of exposure • how old/healthy person is
Hearing protection makes common sense You are ultimately responsible for your own hearing You have the most to lose if you suffer hearing loss Make sure earplugs fit properly 6 a
Personal Protective Equipment Personal protective clothes Wear whenever required Respirator use There are no tasks that require the use of a respirator. If you need a respirator, notify your supervisor so testing and training can be scheduled. You must have these tests before a respirator will be issued.
Personal Protective Equipment If PPE is a requirement for part of your job, you will be notified and trained on the proper use during OJT training.
Personal Protective Equipment Questions
General Safety Training If you ever have a safety concern, notify your supervisor immediately Report all accidents, injuries and near misses to your supervisor ASAP If you have to evacuate the building, congregate with your department outside in an area away from danger & ensure your supervisor knows you are out of the building
General Safety Training Hazardous weather shelters are located at all divisions. In the event of severe weather go to one of these areas and wait for instructions from your supervisor. If you have any questions concerning your health and safety, don’t hesitate to contact the EHS Department.
