1Learning Target Student will identify and
respond to hazardous situations that might affect
the safety of children in a field site situation.
2Bloodborne Pathogens
- Bloodborne Pathogens are microorganisms (such as
viruses) transmitted through blood, or other
potentially infectious material such as certain
bodily fluids (semen, breast milk, etc.) or
tissues.
3Bloodborne Pathogens
- Bodily fluids, especially those visibly
contaminated with blood, are capable of causing
disease. - Pathogens can enter your body through a cut in
the skin, through your eyes or mouth. - Can also be transmitted sexually
- Main diseases of concern are Hepatitis B (and C)
virus, and HIV (AIDS virus).
4Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
- HIV attacks your bodys ability to protect itself
against disease - Initially no visible signs of having the virus
- Most people with HIV develop AIDS (acquired
immune deficiency syndrome) - There is no vaccination for HIV
5HIV
- Virus lives outside the body only a few hours
- 4 modes of transfer
- blood
- semen
- vaginal secretions
- breast milk
6HIV
- 10-50 virus particles per ml of blood
7Aids Statistics from CDC
- 50,000 people in the United States are newly
infected with HIV each year as of 2010 - Nearly 66of these new infections occurred in gay
and bisexual men. - Black/AfricanAmerican men and women were also
highly affected - Their HIV incidence rate that was almost 8 times
as high as the incidence rate among whites.
82015 Aids Statistics from CDC
tate/Dependent Area Number of Diagnoses of HIV Infection, 2013
Florida 5,377
California 5,334
Texas 4,854
New York 3,803
Georgia 3,020
New Jersey 2,177
Maryland 2,174
Illinois 2,091
North Carolina 1,578
Pennsylvania 1,425
9Hepatitis B (and C)
Hepatitis B Virus
- Up to 100 times easier to catch than HIV
- Unlike HIV, can live outside of body for several
days
10Concentration of Hepatitis B Virus in Various
Body Fluids
11Hepatitis B
- 1,000,000 - 1,000,000,000 virus particles per ml
of blood - Virus can live outside the body for several days
12HIV vs. Hepatitis B
13Hepatitis C
- 3-4 million carriers
- Disease can incubate for decade
- HCV not related to the viruses that cause HBA and
HBV
14Hepatitis C
15Hepatitis C
- Risk Factors
- Long-term kidney dialysis
- Sex with multiple partners
- Tattooing or body piercing with shared needles or
unsterilized equipment - Intranasal cocaine use with shared straws
Pamela Anderson claims her infection came from a
tattoo needle
16Hepatitis B (and C)
- There is no cure for Hepatitis B or C
- but unlike HIV, there is a vaccination for
Hepatitis B. - (There is no vaccination for Hepatitis C)
17HBV and HCV
- Liver is located behind the lower ribs on the
right side of your abdomen - Weighs about 3 pounds and is roughly the size of
a football. - If infected with HBV, the liver often becomes
tender and enlarged
18Some signs and symptoms of HBV and HBC include
- Flu-like symptoms
- fatigue
- jaundice
- severe pain in joints
- lung disease
- inflammation of liver
- inflammation on and ulcers of the colon
- may be asymptomatic (i.e. no symptoms indicated)
normal
Yellow from jaundice
19Hepatitis
- Acute 6-8 weeks, 90
- 30-40 with acute HBV have no idea how or when
they became infected - 5-15 of infected carry virus for longer than 6
months (carriers) - Chronic Life, 10
- Hepatitis B carriers are people infected with HBV
and never fully recover. They carry the virus and
can infect others for the rest of their lives - Approximately one million people in the US carry
HBV
20Hepatitis B
- The risk of contracting Hepatitis B from a
single needlestick contaminated with blood from a
person with known Hepatitis B ranges from 6 to
30. - Approximately 10 of those infected become
chronic carriers who can infect their families
and friends. They have up to 300 times greater
than normal risk of developing liver cancer. - Every year, approximately 5,000 Americans, die
of HBV or its complications.

22Statistics as of 2015
- New HIV infections have fallen by 38 since 2001
- New HIV infections among children have declined
by 58 since 2001. - AIDS-related deaths have fallen by 35 since the
peak in 2005
23How Bloodborne Pathogens Spread on the Job
- When a contaminated object touches inflamed skin,
acne, skin abrasions
- When you touch a contaminated surface and then
touch your eyes, nose, mouth, or open wounds or
inflamed skin
24How to Reduce Your Risk
- UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS/
- STANDARD PRECAUTIONS
- A system of infection control which assumes that
all human blood and certain body fluids are
treated as if known to be infectious.
25How to Reduce Your Risk
- Wash hands after changing diapers.
- Wear gloves for diaper changing, wiping noses,
cleaning up after cuts, and injuries.
26Use Spill Kit for Clean-up
- Kit Includes
- Face Mask
- Gloves
- Goggles
- Sharps Disposal Container
- Fluid Control Solidifier
- Personal Safety Equipment Cleaning Pads
27How to Reduce Your Risk
- Dont Recap Needles
- Clean up when kids get sick.
- Wear gloves when dealing with all body fluids and
wastes.
28How to Reduce Your Risk
- Needles and other sharps must be discarded in
rigid, leak-proof, puncture resistance containers
29How to Reduce Your Risk
- Lift and carry the trash bag away from your body
30How to Reduce Your Risk
- Do not eat, drink, smoke, apply cosmetics or
handle contact lenses in areas where there is the
possibility of exposure to BBP, such as in UWM
labs
31Personal Protective Equipment
- Gloves, masks, eye protection, CPR microshields

33Body Fluid Cleanup Procedures
- Get Spill Kit from Janitorial Closet
- Put on gloves.
34Body Fluid Cleanup Procedures
- If splashing is anticipated, wear protective
eyewear and mask
35Body Fluid Cleanup Procedures
- Remove visible material with absorbent towels
36Body Fluid Cleanup Procedures
- Area should be decontaminated for 10 minutes
- Once the area has been disinfected, dry area with
absorbent towels and dispose of towels in regular
trash
37Body Fluid Cleanup Procedures
- Glove removal and disposal technique
38Glove Removal and Disposal
- Grip one glove near the cuff and peel it down
until it comes off inside out. Cup it in the palm
of your gloved hand. - Place two fingers of your bare hand inside the
cuff of the remaining glove.
39Glove Removal and Disposal
- Peel that glove down so that it also comes off
inside out and over the first glove. - Properly dispose of the gloves.
40Body Fluid Cleanup Procedures
41Vaccination

incident - Turn in to your supervisor
- Form is submitted to Workers Compensation
