vacations training on bloodborne pathogens and healthy work environment for our entire staff the following exposure control plan or ECP is provided to decrease or eliminate the possibility of an employee contract a disease spread through blood or other potentially infectious materials also known as opims the best way to eliminate fear and prevent illness and disease is understand how bloodborne pathogens like HIV and hepatitis B are transmitted and what precautions you can take to avoid infection the occupational safety and health administration or OSHA established the occupational it's the bloodborne pathogen standard all of the requirements for this standard can be found in title 29 of the codes of federal regulations 1910 10:30 employers must ensure that their workers receive regular cover all elements of the standard the training must be offered upon employment at least annually thereafter and when new or modified tasks or procedures affect a workers occupational or job-related exposure exposure control plan compliance with the standard regulation and clarifies the definition of regulated waste specifies the procedures for the disposal of regulated or infectious waste clarifies what is allowed regular solid waste disposal establishes the use of red biohazard bags biohazard labels and biohazard disposal containers specifies the record-keeping requirements for training records medical records and show injury log removes the Clause relating to Public Health nurses and creates a site-specific information sheet and map everyone has a role to play in the administration of this program employee must comply with the procedures and work practices outlined in this exposure control plan principles and designated are responsible for the implementation of the exposure control plan at the work site for specific details on the administration of this program contact your school principal or designated administrator for your protection only employees need to be informed about bloodborne pathogens and the need to avoid or otherwise protect themselves from transmission risk in the work setting bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms capable of causing disease and may be present in human blood blood products and other potentially infectious material other potentially infectious material include but are not limited to vaginal secretions saliva contaminated with blood unfixed tissue or organs such as broken or torn skin body fluids with visible blood present and situations where it is pickles or impossible to differentiate between body fluids in order for a person to contract a blood-borne disease the pathogen must be present in sufficient amounts and have an entryway into the bloodstream like through non-intact skin non-intact mucous membranes when affected blood or blood fluids are splashed into a cut in the nose or mouth parenteral access via a needle stick or an injection by a contaminated needle sexual  and prenatally from mother to child through the placenta bloodborne pathogens like HIV and hepatitis B are not transmitted through casual contact like sneezing shaking hands and using restrooms or drinking fountains the human immunodeficiency virus or HIV is one type of bloodborne pathogen HIV specifically attacks the T-cells of your immune system gradually the HIV. play so many immune system cells that the body can no longer effectively fight infection and disease this final stage of the infection is known as acquired immune deficiency syndrome or Aids not everyone with HIV advances to AIDS as of now there is no cure for this disease and no vaccine to prevent infection there are federal and state protection laws requiring the inclusion of hiv-positive students students with HIV cannot be denied access to school in accordance with Hawaii revised statutes 325 - 101 all health information regarding an individual's HIV health status whether written or verbal she'll be treated with strict confidentiality persons informed student HIV status may not disclose this information to anyone without specific written consent of the parent or legal guardian violation of this confidentiality may be subject to financial penalty although HIV has been publicized Hepatitis B has a greater prevalence hepatitis which means inflammation of the liver reduces the liver's ability to process nutrients fight infection and filter blood Hepatitis B signs and symptoms ranging set pretty from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a chronic lifelong ailment for those at risk of Occupational exposure the Centers for Disease Control and OSHA recommend receiving the Hepatitis B vaccination established three categories of employees at risk for blood-borne pathogen exposure in the workplace this list of tasks and procedures or groups of closely related tasks and procedures may lead to occupational exposure for employees in job classified categories 1 and 2 refer to section 1 of the exposure control plan for specifics all employees and category 1 perform tasks or procedures that involve exposure risks to bloodborne pathogens in the work setting and category to some employees have job classifications with risks occupational exposure each school or office will identify teachers and educational assistance who are regularly and routinely it supposed to snow football we care and cleanup needs or serve students with behaviors that present a risk of transmission these category 1 and Category 2 employees need special training in universal precautions to prevent occupational exposure category three employees have no tasks and work assignments involving occupational exposure Category 3 employees should seek additional assistance to clean up or address situations involving blood or other potentially infectious material except for the specific jobs identified in categories 1 and 2 all other employees of the deal with in this category please note part-time temporary contract and per diem employees as well as follow Sears must also be aware of the bloodborne pathogen standard and view this video do you employees in job categories 1 and 2 including substitutes part-time temporary contract and per diem employees will be offered the vaccine series free of charge or be required to sign a waiver acknowledging their refusal Hepatitis B vaccination must be offered after the employee has received the required bloodborne pathogens training and within 10 days of initial assignment to jobs with occupational exposure if in doubt an employee should consult his or her personal physician before deciding to take or refuse the vaccine universal precautions is a prevention approach to infect control employees must know how to use universal precautions to prevent exposure to bloodborne pathogens for your protection consider all human blood and other potentially infectious material as possibly infected so practice universal precautions at all times contact with blood-borne pathogens only pose a risk to you if it can enter your bloodstream some potentially dangerous situations may not be as obvious as an accident involving blood example it is not uncommon for a sick child to vomit at school since there is a slight possibility that the vomit contains some blood or risk of exposure is created all the rare your skin is the first line of defense when under or intact it is your best barrier against infection both the Hepatitis B and HIV virus appear to be in capable of penetrating intact skin use universal precautions to handle any situation where there is a potential skip transmission do universal precautions procedure is always the same use appropriate personal protective equipment like gloves and eye protection disinfect the area properly dispose of infectious waste and wash hands thoroughly even if gloves were worn during treatment of the injured and clean up if you come into contact with blood or other potentially infectious material the most important step is the first wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water hand-washing is easy to do and it's one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of many types of infection and illness in all settings use liquid soap if available bar soap is not recommended as the bar can carry germs to other if soap and water are not available use an alcohol-based sanitizer that has at least 60% alcohol for more information on hand-washing visit the Centers for Disease Control website when responding to an exposure incident follow the universal precautions and work practice controls to minimize your risks of exposure there are some common areas of exposure in the school setting provide first aid as necessary and always practice universal precautions in response to Accidental Cuts or minor accidents put gloves on before treating the injured gloves provide an effective protective barrier from any blood or other potentially infectious material check the gloves for punctures or holes a small cut or open sore provides an entry way for a blood-borne pathogen to get absorbed into your bloodstream if gloves are unavailable give the injured person several tissues paper towels or other absorbent material instruct a person to apply pressure on their own wound to stop the bleeding until proper Medical Care can be provided certain bloodborne pathogens like the hepatitis virus can live for days outside the body and still cause infection in dried blood to prevent infection and cross-contamination all equipment environmental and working surfaces should be cleaned and decontaminated as soon as possible using an EPA approved disinfectant the following disinfectants may be used isopropyl alcohol sodium hypochlorite such as Clorox or. Which is diluted one part bleach to 10 parts water or any p a germicidal solution mixed according to the manufacturer's directions to disinfect a contaminated surface first put on gloves check it for any holes and replace it if necessary next spray that infected on the contaminated surface and allow several minutes for the disinfectant to work wipe it right with paper towels or wipes and properly dispose of any contaminated materials items that may be contaminated should only be picked up using mechanical means like a brush and dustpan or tongs clean and disinfect such implements and viens or pails that were used during clean up even if gloves are worn for the treatment of the injured and during remember to finish with effective hand washing and drying employees may be exposed to blood-borne pathogens present in regulated waste regulated waste are materials that are liquid semi-liquid or other potentially infectious material contaminated items that would release blood or other potentially infectious material in a liquid or semi-liquid state if compressed items that are caked with dried blood or other potentially infectious material I capable of releasing these materials during handling contaminated sharps like syringes and epipens in order for schools and offices to be compliant with high arch regulations they must be equipped with red biohazard bags biohazard labels covered biohazard disposal containers with biohazard warning labels attached and red Sharps disposal containers each school is responsible for maintaining their own supply of these materials to do so May subject to school to Hayashi and State Department of Health citations and financial penalties not every classroom needs a red biohazard bag the red biohazard bags and label only need to be in a central location well regulated waste is kept until disposed of such at the health room red biohazard bags are to be used only for disposing of materials containing regulated waste or other potentially infectious material biohazard label are only used on other sealed containers or bags which contain regulated waste or other potentially infectious material for disposal so how do you dispose of regulated waste all regulated waste material must be placed in a red biohazard bag or a sealable bag or container labeled as biohazardous the red bag or container must be sealed and placed in the cupboard Biohazard Waste container proper disposal Allred bio has bags or items labeled as biohazardous are required to be disposed of by a licensed contractor and may not be placed in regular trash for disposal doing so May subject to school two citations from Hayashi and the state department OSHA does not generally considered feminine hygiene products Band-Aids or bandages as regulated waste according to the State Department of Health these items may be disposed of as regular solid waste schools will be response Contracting their own state license vendor to properly dispose of their regulated waste when handling Sharps disposal containers refer to the OSHA fact sheet protecting yourself when handling contaminated sharps container to be discarded immediately in containers that are closable puncture-resistant leak-proof on sides and bottoms and appropriately labeled or color-coded please see the school or off the site plan for the location of Sharps disposal caterers in the event of an exposure employees and supervisors must follow the post exposure incident procedures in section 4 of the exposure control plan an exposure incident is defined as a reason anticipated skin eye mucus membrane or parenteral contact with blood or other potentially infectious material that may result from the performance of an employee's duties so what are your responsibilities and responding to an ex Hoosier incident if you have possibly been exposed to blood or other potentially infectious material seek immediate first aid or wound care as needed cleanse the area of exposure with soap and water then rinse thoroughly with water contact your immediate supervisor and complete the employee exposure report immediately your principal or supervisor can provide assistance on the completion of forms post-exposure evaluations and follow-up are providing free of charge employees obtained confidential medical evaluation and follow up by your attending physician or Healthcare professional who will need to perform civil activities involving documentation and testing the principal administrative Boston obtain essential information and complete form u p 110 provide the employees health care professional with proper documents advised the employee on required forms for the physician prepare for mwc one employers report of industrial injury if the employee was absent from work more than one day or requires medical treatment Beyond ordinary first aid and investigate the exposure incident and complete form u p one regarding the exposure incident to refine or improve the exposure control plan at the school or office the school or office must also maintain worker records a Sharps injury log and training documentation enclosing the exposure control plan is meant to prevent on-the-job employee exposure to bloodborne pathogens through the practice of universal precautions implementation of engineering and work practice controls and a personal protective equipment to provide a continual program of orientation training and procedural compliance and to insure prompt follow-up care of employees exposed to another person's blood body fluids or other potentially infectious materials while performing work related tasks the overall goal is to keep you healthy and safe consult the gioi bloodborne pathogens exposure control plan and review the frequently asked questions if you need further assistance please contact the safety security and emergency preparedness Branch at 586-3457 or send an email by Lotus Notes to safety Hawaii at notes. rhi us Mahalo for
