C. Protect all cuts, sores or open wounds from contamination by contact <br /> with potential sources of infection. <br /> D. Develop the habit of keeping your hands away from your eyes, nose <br /> and mouth in order to minimize the chances of infection. <br /> E. Dispose of blood, body fluids, and secretions properly. Generally, <br /> infectious microorganisms do not survive if out of the host and exposed <br /> to an open environment. <br /> F. Handle sharp items such as needles properly and use protective cases <br /> when appropriate. Contaminated needles and other contaminated <br /> sharps shall not be bent, recapped or removed. Contaminated <br /> reusable sharps shall be placed in appropriate containers and shall be <br /> puncture resistant, leak proof on sides and the bottom and labeled and <br /> color coded appropriately. The sharps container should be able to be <br /> closed after each use. Handle such items with extreme caution. <br /> G. Be acutely aware of cuts or scrapes you may receive while engaged in <br /> handling a situation, which may carry a potential risk of infection. <br /> H. Uniform clothing contaminated with blood or other potentially infectious <br /> material should be removed as soon as possible. It should be placed in <br /> a red biohazard bag and cleaned separately from other clothing items. <br /> Gloves should be worn when handling this type of infected clothing. <br /> PROCEDURE FOR SIGNIFICANT EXPOSURE AND POST EXPOSURE <br /> If an employee experiences a significant exposure to an infectious <br /> microorganism or experiences a situation or condition such that a <br /> significant exposure is likely to have occurred, the employee is to proceed <br /> as follows: <br /> A. Report to the Shift Supervisor as soon as possible, completing the <br /> required First Report of Injury forms <br /> B. Complete the Exposure Incident Report form, which is available from <br /> the Shift Supervisor. <br /> C. Report to the same hospital as the source patient, with the completed <br /> Exposure Incident form and advise the hospital staff of the exposure or <br /> potential exposure. If the "source patient" is not transported, the <br /> nearest hospital may be used. <br />
