Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Plan A guideline designed to assist in protecting our health care workers against occupational transmission of viral Hepatitis B , HIV, Hepatitis C and other blood borne diseases Blood borne pathogens are organisms that are transmitted by direct contact with blood and /or body substances. Needle sticks and other sharp related injuries may expose workers to blood borne pathogen. What to do if I have an exposure! • Cleanse the exposure area immediately • Report it to your supervisor • Seek medical evaluation from ER or Urgent Care Prevention : -Activating safety device on needle -Proper needle disposal -Contacting Environmental Services (EVS) when sharps containers are ¾ full

No Food or Drinks in Patient Care Areas § The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard prohibits food and drink in areas where contamination is likely. § This regulation prohibits the consumption of food and drink in areas in which work involving exposure or potential exposure to blood or other potentially infectious material exists, or where the potential for contamination of work surfaces exists. § The prohibition against eating and drinking in such work area is consistent with other OSHA standards and is good industrial hygiene practice.
