Healthcare professionals face a significant health risk as the result of occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials. This includes Hepatitis B virus, which causes Hepatitis B, a serious liver disease, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

听

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard for Occupational Exposure to Blood borne Pathogens is designed to eliminate or minimize occupational exposure to Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other blood borne pathogens. OSHA has concluded that this exposure can be minimized or eliminated using a combination of engineering and work practice controls, personal protective clothing and equipment, training, medical surveillance, Hepatitis B vaccination, signs and labels and other provisions.

If an exposure incident occurs, the following steps should be followed:

听

1. Clean the area exposed thoroughly (clean wound, flush eyes, flush mucous membranes, etc.).

听

2. Contact the Student Health Services at 342-1651 and report the incident. Student Health Services will make arrangements for a confidential medical evaluation and follow-up. They will also administer first aid and will also clean the area affected thoroughly. If the incident occurs after hours notify University Police of the incident and seek medical evaluation, preferably at St. Francis Hospital.

听

3. Be sure to document the routes of exposure and how the exposure occurred.

听

4. Identify and document the source individual, if known, unless it can be established that identification is not feasible or is prohibited by state or local laws.
