  2. WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS? • OSHA Standard 29 1910.1030(g)(2): • Anyone whose job requires exposure to bloodborne pathogens is required to complete training; • Employees who are trained in CPR and first aid; • Any employee who is “reasonably anticipated” to be exposed to BBP through contact with the public. • Requires training upon initial hiring and annual training thereafter.

  14. Regulated Medical Waste • Liquid or semi-liquid blood or other potentially infectious material (OPIM). • Contaminated items that would release blood or OPIM when compressed. • Contaminated sharps. • Pathological and microbiological waste containing blood or OPIM. BBP & ABP Training

  15. Signs & Labels • Labels must include the universal biohazard symbol, and the term “Biohazard” must be attached to: • containers of regulated biohazard waste; • refrigerators or freezers containing blood or OPIM; • containers used to store, transport, or ship blood or OPIM. BBP & ABP Training

  16. Exposure Incident • A specific incident of contact with potentially infectious bodily fluid. • If there are no infiltrations of mucous membranes or open skin surfaces, it is not considered an occupational exposure. • Report all accidents involving blood or bodily fluids to your supervisor. • Post-exposure medical evaluations are offered. BBP & ABP Training

  17. Post-exposure Evaluation • The Human Resources Unit will: • Provide a confidential medical evaluation; • Document the route of exposure; • Identify source individual; • Test source individuals blood (with individuals consent); • Provide results to exposed employee. BBP & ABP Training

  18. Recordkeeping Medical records include: • Hepatitis B vaccination status; • Post-exposure evaluation and follow-up results. Training records include: • Training dates; • Contents of the training; • Signature of trainer and trainee. BBP & ABP Training

  19. Common BB Pathogen Diseases • Malaria • Brucellosis • Syphilis • Hepatitis B(HBV) • Hepatitis C(HCV) • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) • HIV, HBV and HVC are the most common BBP & ABP Training

  20. Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV) • HIV is the virus that leads to AIDS. • HIV depletes the immune system. • HIV does not survive well outside the body. • No threat on contracting HIV through casual contact. BBP & ABP Training

  21. Hepatitis B (HBV) • 1—1.25 million Americans are chronically infected. • Symptoms include: jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, intermittent nausea, vomiting. • May lead to chronic liver disease, liver cancer, and death. • Vaccination available since 1982. • HBV can survive up to 2 weeks in dried blood. • Symptoms can occur 1-9 months after exposure. BBP & ABP Training

  22. Hepatitis C (HCV) • Hepatitis C is the most common chronic bloodborne infection in the United States. • Symptoms include: jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, intermittent nausea, vomiting. • May lead to chronic liver disease, and death. • No vaccine currently available. BBP & ABP Training

  23. Hepatitis B Vaccination • Strongly endorsed by medical communities; • Offered to all potentially exposed employees; • Provided at no cost to employees; • Declination form must be signed if choose not to get vaccination. • Can get vaccination at no cost at a later date, even with form signed. BBP & ABP Training

  25. What is TB? • Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by germs that are spread from person to person through the air. • TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, kidneys, or spine. • A person with TB can die if they do not get treatment. BBP & ABP Training

  26. What Are the Symptoms of TB? • The general symptoms of TB disease include feelings of sickness or weakness, weight loss, fever, and/or night sweats. • The symptoms of TB disease of the lungs also include coughing, chest pain, and/or the coughing up of blood. • Symptoms of TB disease in other parts of the body depend on the area affected. BBP & ABP Training

  27. How is TB Spread? TB germs are put into the air when a person with TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings. These germs can stay in the air for several hours, depending on the environment. Persons who breathe in the air containing these TB germs can become infected; this is called latent TB infection. BBP & ABP Training

  28. What is the Difference Between Latent TB Infection and TB Disease? People with latent TB infection have TB germs in their bodies, but they are not sick because the germs are not active. These people do not have symptoms of TB disease, and they cannot spread the germs to others. However, they may develop TB disease in the future. They are often prescribed treatment to prevent them from developing TB disease. BBP & ABP Training

  29. What is the Difference Between Latent TB Infection and TB Disease? People with TB disease are sick from TB germs that are active; meaning they are multiplying and destroying tissue in their body. They usually have symptoms of TB disease. People with TB disease of the lungs or throat are capable of spreading germs to others. They are prescribed drugs that can treat TB disease. A person who is actively taking their medication for 48 hours is highly unlikely to spread the disease BBP & ABP Training

  30. What Should I Do If I Have Spent Time withSomeone with Latent TB Infection? A person with latent TB infection cannot spread germs to other people. You do not need to be tested if you have spent time with someone with latent TB infection. However, if you have spent time with someone with TB disease or someone with symptoms of TB, you should be tested. BBP & ABP Training

  31. BBP & ABP Training

  32. What Should I Do if I Have Been Exposed to Someone with TB Disease? People with TB disease are most likely to spread the germs to people they spend time with every day, such as family members or coworkers. If you have been around someone who has TB disease, you should go to your doctor or your local health department for tests. BBP & ABP Training

  33. How is TB Disease Treated? TB disease can be treated by taking several drugs for 6 to 12 months. It is very important that people who have TB disease finish the medicine, and take the drugs exactly as prescribed. If they stop taking the drugs too soon, they can become sick again; if they do not take the drugs correctly, the germs that are still alive may become resistant to those drugs. TB that is resistant to drugs is harder and more expensive to treat. BBP & ABP Training

  34. How is TB Disease Treated? In some situations, staff of the local health department meet regularly with patients who have TB to watch them take their medications. This is called “directly observed therapy” (DOT). DOT helps the patient complete treatment in the least amount of time. BBP & ABP Training

  35. What is the FLU? Like a cold or other air-borne illness, flu spreads from person-to-person by coughs and sneezes. BBP & ABP Training

  36. What is the FLU ? When people cough or sneeze, they spread germs into the air or onto surfaces other people touch. BBP & ABP Training
