Which of the steps below are important when cleaning up blood or body fluids that may contain blood?
Follow Contact time recommendations (instructions) for the chosen disinfectant
Disinfect using a fresh bleach solution or other disinfectant
Remove as much of the spill as possible
Wear appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment like Gloves) to protect yourself
All of the above
If you have been exposed to blood or potentially infectious materials at work, you should do all of the following EXCEPT:
Wash or Flush the affected body part
Report the exposure to a supervisor
Document what happened
Find out if the person who’s fluids you came in contact with is HIV positive
The BEST Place to dispose of contaminated sharp objects (such as needles) that have come in contact with contaminated blood would be:
Place them in a puncture resistant container and throw them away
Put them in an appropriate SHARPS container (if available)
Throw them in the trash with the other garbage
Put them in a red bag in the Trash
Transmission of bloodborne pathogens in the workplace is most likely to occur due to:
Accidental puncture – a sharp, contaminated object punctures your skin
Broken skin – infected blood or body fluids come into contact with your already broken or damaged skin
Body openings - infected material comes into contact with your eyes, nose or mouth
ALL of The above
