- Blood Borne Pathogens Plan
2
Purpose
- The purpose of the Blood Borne Pathogens Exposure
Plan of Lexington School District 2 is to
eliminate or minimize employee occupational
exposure and comply with OSHA Blood Borne
Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.
3
Who is at risk of being exposed to blood borne
pathogens?
- Children are not immune to infections.
- Teachers and staff interacting with students may
be more likely to come in contact with blood,
bodily fluids or other potentially infectious
materials.
4
Transmitted Through Body Fluids
- Many diseases are transmitted through blood borne
pathogens - HIV destroys the bodys immune system.
- Hepatitis B (JBV)
- Hepatitis C (HCV) liver inflammation
5
How are pathogens transmitted?
- There are many opportunities for pathogens to be
transmitted - blood, semen, mucus, vaginal secretions and
other human secretions.
6
Pathogens Enter the Body Directly and Indirectly
- Open cuts
- Skin abrasions
- Mucus membranes (the nose)
- Skin irritations
- Acne
7
Dangerous Objects
- Scissors
- Art supplies
- Rulers
- Staple removers
- Sports equipment
- Eating utensils
- Shop equipment
8
Exposure Control Is the Key
- Reduce the risk of exposure.
- Always use personal protective gear such as
gloves and masks. - If exposed, immediately wash the exposed area
thoroughly with antibacterial soap. - If soap and water are not readily available, use
antiseptic wipes and wash later.
9
Be Preventive Minded
- To be safe and keep others safe, always wear
personal protective equipment and take preventive
measures. - HIV, HBV or HCV can only be detected by blood
tests. - To date there is no cure for HIV.
- There is a vaccine for HBV.
10
Everyone
- Everyone is a potential carrier of blood borne
pathogens. - And, everyone must recognize the dangers and take
precautions.
11
Further Precautions
- Carry disposable plastic gloves in your school
bag. - Pack antiseptic towels in your school bag.
- If you have been exposed to bodily fluids, do not
handle contact lens, apply make up or brush your
teeth until you have washed with antiseptic soap
and water. - Never store food or drinks anywhere near
hazardous materials (body fluids).
12
Likelihood of Exposure
- No one is immune.
- Some students and adults are more vulnerable.
- Therefore, some jobs have a greater likelihood of
exposure.
- School health nurses, CPR/First Aid Responders
- Special education teachers/teacher assistants
- Bus drivers for handicapped students
- Elementary school teachers/teacher assistants
- Coaches, trainers, PE teachers
- Principals, assistant principals, student
services coordinators - Secretaries
- Custodians
13
The Best Protection
- Always use protective equipment that is in good
condition. - Never share gloves or face masks.
- Never use equipment that has been contaminated by
hazardous materials or body fluids. - Never re-use protective equipment.
- Immediately wash surfaces and skin after exposure.
14
Disposal
- Custodial staff normally disposes of hazardous
materials. - If they are not available, handle it with
protective gloves or tools. - Use proper containers, such as bio hazard
containers for needles, scissors, gloves, or
clothing.
15
Dont Panic
- Wash exposed area with soap and water
immediately. - If eyes are exposed, flush them with warm water.
- Exposure does not automatically mean infection or
disease.
16
Report It
- Immediately report exposure to school
administrators. - Make your own personal notes of the date and
extent of exposure.
17
Everyones Responsibility
- Maintaining a safe, healthy workplace is
everyones responsibility.
