Universal Precautions Policy

Universal Precautions Policy


According to the concept of Universal Precautions, all human blood, human blood components,products made from human blood and certain other materials are treated and handled as if known to be infectious for HIV, HBV and other bloodborne pathogens. The other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) which require Universal Precautions include

1) the following human body fluids: semen, vaginal secretions, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, pleural fluid, pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, saliva in dental procedures,any body fluid that is visibly contaminated with blood and all body fluids in situations where it is difficult or impossible to differentiate between body fluids;

2) any unfixed tissue or organ (other than intact skin) from a human (living or dead);

3) HIV-containing cell or tissue cultures, organ cultures and HIV-containing culture medium or other solutions; and 4) blood, organs or other tissues from experimental animals infected with HIV or HBV.


The following shall be observed:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Personal protective equipment shall be used to prevent skin and mucous membrane contact with blood and OPIM. These may include the use of gloves, masks, protective eyewear or face shields and gowns or aprons, as appropriate for the task.


Hand washing

  • Hands and other skin surfaces shall be washed immediately after contact with blood or OPIM.

  • Hands shall be washed each time gloves are removed.


Sharps

All sharps (needles, scalpels and razor blades) shall be disposed of in labeled, leak-proof,puncture-proof sharps containers. Needles shall not be bent, sheared or recapped. Sharps containers shall be available in the area where sharps are being used.


Dermatitis

Employees who have exudative lesions or weeping dermatitis shall refrain from handling blood or OPIM until the condition resolves.


Biological Safety Cabinets (BSC)

BSC are required for procedures that may generate an aerosol (vortexing, grinding, blending,etc.).


Prohibitions

Eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics or lip balm, and handling contact lenses are prohibited in work areas where there is a reasonable likelihood of occupational exposure to blood. Contaminated needles or other contaminated sharps must not be bent, recapped, or removed unless it can be demonstrated that no alternative is feasible or that such action is required by a specific medical procedure.


Exposure Occurrence

If you should have an exposure incident to another person鈥檚 blood, immediately wash the exposed area with warm water and soap. If the exposed area is in your mouth, rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash. If the exposure was in your eyes, flush with warm water or saline if available. A quick rinse  is probably not adequate; you want to irrigate the area completely with water. Next, report the incident with the following information: how, when and where the incident occurred and with whose blood or body secretions you came in contact. Your blood may then be tested for HIV but only with your consent. The source individual鈥檚 blood will also be tested if available and the results of the test will be made known to you.
