M 0U NDit SVVfEW <br /> SUBJECT: EXPOSURE CONTROL PLAN- BLOODBORNE <br /> PATHOGENS <br /> PURPOSE: <br /> The purpose of this procedure is to provide information to all Full <br /> employees on how to minimize the risk of exposure to infectious <br /> microorganisms including, but not limited to HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis <br /> C to which, during the course of performing their duties, employees may <br /> be exposed. It is a further purpose of this procedure to provide the <br /> employees information on what steps are to be taken if an employee <br /> believes they have had a significant exposure to such pathogens. <br /> METHODS OF EXPOSURE OR CONTAMINATION: <br /> Microorganisms (pathogens) identified in this procedure are typically <br /> transmitted by contact with body fluids. Medical science, at this time, is <br /> uncertain if other methods of transmission are possible, but this possibility <br /> should not be ignored. Employees are urged to use caution when such <br /> exposure is possible. <br /> In addition to a possible risk of exposure while performing an Emergency <br /> Medical Service (EMS) function, employees are urged to exercise caution <br /> in all situations, which may provide an opportunity for body fluid contact <br /> such as, arrest, i.e. hypodermic needle puncture, bites, etc. <br /> Any cuts, open wounds, or sores that an employee has are potential sites <br /> of infection and should be treated accordingly. <br /> Typically, the spread of communicable disease requires: <br /> A. A source of infection (microorganism); <br /> B. A means of transmission; and <br /> C. A susceptible host (reservoir). <br /> Employees are urged to use safe practices in cases of indirect contact as <br /> well (i.e. clothing items, potentially contaminated linens, potentially <br /> contaminated inanimate objects, droplet contact, and /or airborne contact). <br />
