  1. Safety and Sanitation 1 • Prepare Foldable

  2. POTENTIAL HAZARDS

  3. Safety & Sanitation TM POTENTIAL HAZARDS

  4. Chemical DANGER

  5. Examples • Cleaning agents • Insecticides • Anesthetic gases • Drugs • Schedule I- no current accepted medical use, high abuse • Schedule II- current accepted medical use, high abuse • Schedule III– current accepted use, medium abuse • Schedule IV- current accepted use, low abuse • Schedule V- accepted use, lowest abuse

  6. Chemical PPE PPE= Personal Protection Equipment • Gloves • Masks • Safety glasses

  7. Safety & Sanitation TM Potential Hazards

  8. Physical Radioactive

  9. Examples • Animal injuries – bites, kicking, scratches • Back injuries – improperly lifting heavy objects or animals • Falls on wet floors • Exposure to x-rays/radiation

  10. Safety & Sanitation TM SAFETY EQUIPMENTProtection Dosimeter Lead Gloves Back Brace Lead Apron

  11. Safety & Sanitation TM Safety Genius

  12. Other PPE • Leather gloves • Ear plugs • Boots/shoes • Steel toed?

  13. Safety & Sanitation TM POTENTIAL HAZARDS

  14. Biologicial Biohazard

  15. Safety & Sanitation TM Examples • Living tissue and organisms • Blood • Urine • Live vaccines • Medical waste that has had contact with living tissue (urine soaked blankets, bandage material, etc.) • Needles and scalpels “Sharps”

  16. Safety & Sanitation TM

  17. PPE • Exam gloves • Safety glasses • Face mask • Surgical gown • Hair net

  18. Safety & Sanitation TM POTENTIAL HAZARDS

  19. zoonotic

  20. Safety & Sanitation TM Examples • Viruses • Fungus • Parasites • Bacteria

  21. Prevention • Discussion

  22. Safety Equipment

  23. Safety & Sanitation TM SAFETY EQUIPMENT • Professional Dress • Scrubs • Sturdy shoes • No loose jewelry

  24. Safety & Sanitation TM SAFETY EQUIPMENT • PPE- Personal Protective Equipment Working with large animals Surgery Cleaning kennel Dentals Full PPE Wearearplugs Protective shoes Always wear mask and glasses

  25. Putting it all Together Fold paper in half Label one side “Surgery” and the other side “X-ray Aggressive Dog” For each side- • Describe the potential hazards involved (use complete sentences!) • Diagram the safety precautions and PPE needed to keep the technician safe.

  26. Safety & Sanitation TM Safety and Sanitation in the Vet Clinic • At the completion of this unit, students will be able to: • A. List potential work related hazards in the veterinary clinic • B. List and use safety equipment • C. List government regulations and agencies that help maintain worker safety • D. Describe habits in the veterinary clinic that provide appropriate infection control to avoid cross contamination between animals. • E. Define zoonosis and list common zoonotic diseases • F. Demonstrate appropriate handling and disposal of bio hazardous waste, needles, and other sharps. • G. Demonstrate skills such as hand washing, gowning, gloving, and masking.

  27. Safety & Sanitation TM SAFETY EQUIPMENTWarning Signs • NFPA Diamond (National Fire Protection Association) • Universal way to communicate chemical hazard information

  28. Safety & Sanitation TM SAFETY EQUIPMENTWarning Signs • NFPA Diamond AKA “Fire Diamond” • BLUE- Health • RED- Flammability • YELLOW- Reactivity • Scale, 0 to 4 • 0, Little to no danger • 4, DANGER DANGER!

  29. Safety & Sanitation TM SAFETY EQUIPMENTWarning Signs • WHITE- Special • COR – Corrosive • ALK – Alkaline • ACID – Acidic • OXY – Oxidizer • W – Use NO Water • - Radioactive Hazard

  30. Safety & Sanitation TM WORKER SAFETY • OSHA(Occupational Safety & Health Administration) • Federal agency in charge of the enforcement of safety and health legislation. • Example: must be 18 to take x-rays at a vet clinic

  31. Safety & Sanitation TM WORKER SAFETY • MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) • Book with safety information about every chemical in the facility • Required by law

  32. Safety & Sanitation TM MSDSMaterial Safety Data Sheets • Includes 8 sections: • Manufacturer Information • Hazard Ingredients/ Identity Information • Physical/ Chemical Characteristics • Fire and Explosion Hazard Data • Reactivity Data • Health Hazard Data • Precautions for Safe Handling and Use • Control Measures MSDS

  33. Safety & Sanitation TM INFECTION CONTROL • Is there a difference between these words? • Clean • Sterile S&S 2

  34. Safety & Sanitation TM INFECTION CONTROLTypes of Sanitation • Cleaning –physically removing all visible signs of dirt and organic matter such as feces, blood, hair, etc. • Disinfecting –destroying most microorganisms on nonliving things by physical or chemical means • Sterilizing – destroying ALL microorganisms and viruses on an object using chemicals and/or heat under pressure

  35. Safety & Sanitation TM INFECTION CONTROLCommon Cleaning Chemicals • Alcohols – ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethanol • Chlorine – bleach • Iodine and Iodophors – Betadine, iodine

  36. Safety & Sanitation TM INFECTION CONTROLPhysical Cleaning • Using a chemical with a mop or sponge ***Where a large portion of your time will be spent

  37. Safety & Sanitation TM INFECTION CONTROLUltrasonic Cleaner • Passes high frequency sound waves through a solution to create a vibration that scrubs an object to remove debris

  38. Safety & Sanitation TM INFECTION CONTROLCold Sterilization • Soaking items in a disinfectant chemical until they are used

  39. Safety & Sanitation TM INFECTION CONTROLDry Heat • Incinerating an object or exposing it to flame

  40. Safety & Sanitation TM INFECTION CONTROLAutoclave • A sealed chamber in which objects are exposed to heat and steam under pressure

  41. Safety & Sanitation TM CAN YOU FIGURE IT OUT? • Last week, Colorado State's department of public health was alerted to an unusual cluster of diarrheal illness in Denver. Thus far, 26 cases have been associated with this outbreak. All of the cases submitted fecal samples and cultured positive for the pathogen Salmonella Serotype Infantis. 83% of these cases are children.

  42. Safety & Sanitation TM CAN YOU FIGURE IT OUT? • CLUE: • All affected children visited one place

  43. Safety & Sanitation TM CAN YOU FIGURE IT OUT?

  44. Safety & Sanitation TM ZOONOSIS • Zoonosis = a disease transmitted from one species to another.

  45. Safety & Sanitation TM BIO HAZRDOUS WASTE • Any waste that contains infectious materials • Blood • Body fluids • Semen cultures • “Sharps” (used scalpels or needles)

  46. Safety & Sanitation TM BIO HAZARDOUS WASTE • Any bio hazardous waste should be disposed of properly. Simulations

  47. Safety & Sanitation TM PREVENTING DISEASEProper lifting of heavy objects Competency Check-off

  48. Safety & Sanitation TM PREVENTING DISEASEProper lifting of heavy objects • Back should stay as vertical as possible • Lift with legs • Never twist knees, elbows, shoulders • Stand close to load • Use tools

  49. Safety & Sanitation TM PREVENTING DISEASEProper lifting of heavy objects
