19. Gloves should be worn:
• for touching blood and body
fluids requiring universal
precautions, mucous
membranes, or non-intact
skin of all patients, and
• for handling items or
surfaces soiled with blood
or body fluids to which

exposure
Universal Precautions

21. Control Measures
• Work Practice Controls
– Reduce the likelihood of
exposure to bloodborne
pathogens through use of:
• Primary prevention of
injuries
• Universal Precautions
• Examples
– Use of gloves
– Effective hand washing
– Correct removal and
disposal of contaminated
gloves
Universal Precautions

22. • After a bloodborne
event in the workplace
– Follow policies and
procedures at your
workplace for clean-up.
– Use a hospital grade
VIRUCIDE or a 1:10
bleach to water solution.
– Disposal of
contaminated items
