Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Graphic description:
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver. The two strains that pose the greatest risk in
your workplace are hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
Hepatitis B and hepatitis C symptoms include:

• Flu-like symptoms
• Jaundice (yellow skin, mucous membranes or eyes)
• Weakness
• Lack of appetite
Note to QA:
• Vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea
• Liver inflammation/disease/cancer
Audio:
What is viral hepatitis? Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver. It can be caused
by exposure to distinct viruses. The two strains that pose the biggest threat in
the workplace are hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
The symptoms of hepatitis B and hepatitis C include flu-like symptoms, such as

aches and fever. Hepatitis may cause jaundice, which is when your skin,
mucous membranes or the whites of your eyes turn yellow.
Hepatitis can also cause weakness, lack of appetite, vomiting, stomach pain
and diarrhea. Moreover, hepatitis can lead to liver inflammation, chronic liver
disease and liver cancer. These conditions can all cause death.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Graphic description:
HIV attacks the white blood cells that play a major role in the body’s immune
system. HIV can eventually lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
HIV symptoms include:

• Swollen glands
• Chronic fatigue
• Yeast infections
• Night sweats
Note to QA:
• Fever
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite/weight
Visible symptoms may not occur for years, but you can still infect others.
Audio:
The human immunodeficiency virus attacks the body’s white blood cells. AIDS = aides
These blood cells play a major role in your body’s immune system. That means
your ability to fight disease and heal from injuries is impaired. HIV may
eventually lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS,
approximately two to twelve years after initial infection.
Symptoms of HIV include swollen glands, chronic fatigue, yeast infections,

night sweats, fever, diarrhea, and loss of appetite and weight.
Although symptoms may not arise for many years, it is important to know that
once you become infected with HIV, you can transmit it to others regardless
of your physical well-being.

Treatments Graphic description:
Are vaccines available?
• Vaccine available for hepatitis B
• No vaccine available for hepatitis C
• No vaccine available for HIV
There is NO CURE for hepatitis B or HIV.
New treatments for hepatitis C have shown improved cure rates for many patients.
Note to QA:
Audio:
You may be wondering: are there vaccines?
A safe and effective vaccine is available to protect you against Hepatitis B.

Unfortunately, there is no vaccine currently available to protect you against
hepatitis C virus.
And despite current therapies that delay the progression of HIV, there is no
vaccination available for the human immunodeficiency virus.
You also need to know that there is no cure for hepatitis B or HIV.
And while new treatments for hepatitis C have shown improved cure rates for
many patients, there’s no guarantee of cure.

1.5 Transmission
Page 1.5.1 CB#: 009

How BBPs Are Transmitted Graphic description:
BBPs are transmitted through contact with infected blood or other potentially
infectious materials (OPIM), such as vaginal secretions or semen.
Three routes of workplace exposure include:

• Puncture wounds
• Open cuts and skin abrasions
• Eyes, nose and mouth
Note to QA:
Audio:
Bloodborne pathogens are transmitted through contact with infected blood or
other potentially infectious materials, such as vaginal secretions or semen.
Although there are various routes of entry, there are three common ways
people are exposed at work. The first involves puncture wounds from sharp
objects, commonly referred to as sharps. Blades, broken glass and needles are
examples of sharps.
You can also be exposed to BBPs through broken or damaged skin, such as
open cuts and skin abrasions. And you can be exposed to BBPs when they
come in contact with your unprotected eyes, mouth and mucous membranes.
Even a small splash to the eye, a quick scratch to the nose, or a slight touch to
the mouth can provide BBPs with a route into your body.

[Instructions] Read the question and then select the best answer. Multiple-choice question. OST feedback is below.
[Q1] What is the one thing you should always assume about blood or other OPIM?
A. All blood and OPIM are infected with BBPs
B. All blood and OPIM are safe unless you know otherwise
C. Blood and OPIM are usually safe to handle
D. Everyone with a BBP knows they are infected
Note to QA:
Audio:
Read the question and then select the best answer.
What is the one thing you should always assume about blood or other OPIM?
• Should you assume that all blood and OPIM are infected with BBPs,
• all blood and OPIM are safe unless you know otherwise,
• blood and OPIM are usually safe to handle,
• or everyone with a BBP knows they are infected?
Text feedback Absolutely! Remember, not everyone knows when they are infected. They A - correct
may not even show any symptoms. You can’t ever be sure that blood or OPIM
is safe, so you should always assume it is infected and treat it with care.
Text feedback No! Remember, not everyone knows when they are infected. They may not B, C, D - correct
even show any symptoms. You can’t ever be sure that blood or OPIM is safe,
so you should always assume it is infected and treat it with care.

BBP Precautions Graphic description:
Page 16 of 31
To handle blood or OPIM safely, you need to use the right:
• Personal hygiene
• Engineering controls
• Personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Good housekeeping practices
Note to QA:
Audio:
To handle blood or OPIM safely, you need to use the right personal hygiene, PPE = P-P-E
engineering controls, personal protective equipment, or PPE, and good
housekeeping practices.
Page 17 of 31
Page 1.6.3 CB#: 0013
Personal Hygiene Graphic description:
Properly cover open cuts and skin abrasions.
Never do the following in potential exposure areas:

• Eat
• Drink
• Store food
• Smoke
• Handle contact lenses
Note to QA:
• Apply cosmetics or lip balm
Audio:
By following some simple personal hygiene procedures, you can reduce your
exposure to BBPs. Cover all of your open cuts and skin abrasions to prevent
contact with infectious material. This measure effectively eliminates one of
the main routes of entry.
In potential exposure areas, never eat, drink, store food, smoke, handle
contact lenses, or apply cosmetics or lip balm.
Page 18 of 31
Page 1.6.4 CB#: 0014
Personal Hygiene – Washing Your Hands Graphic description:
Wash your hands and exposed skin with soap and running water:
• Immediately after an exposure incident
• After removing gloves or other PPE
• As soon as possible after an alternative hand-washing method, such as using
hand sanitizer or towelettes
Note to QA:
Audio:
Wash your hands with soap and running water frequently. Doing so is one of
the most important and easiest measures you can use to prevent BBP
transmission. It’s best to use soft, antibacterial soap if possible because harsh,
abrasive soaps can open fragile scabs and sores.
Wash your hands immediately following any type of exposure. Remember:

assume that all blood and OPIM is infected. You also need to wash your hands
after removing your gloves or other PPE.
If you’re working in an area without access to running water, then clean your
hands with hand sanitizer or antiseptic towelettes immediately. Then, be sure
to wash your hands as soon as possible with soap and running water for at
least one full minute.
Page 19 of 31
Page 1.6.5 CB#: 0015
Engineering Controls Graphic description:
Engineering controls isolate or remove BBP hazards from the workplace by
removing, eliminating or isolating them.
Examples include:
• Sharps disposal containers
• Biohazard bags and containers
• Self-sheathing needles
• Biological safety cabinets
Note to QA:
Audio:
Engineering controls isolate or remove BBP hazards from the workplace. They
work by removing, eliminating or isolating the hazard.
So, what are some examples?
One engineering control you might use is a sharps disposal container in which
you can dispose of sharp objects like needles or glass shards. These containers
must be closable, puncture-resistant, leak-proof, labeled and color-coded red
or orange.
You should dispose of contaminated items that are not sharp in biohazard
bags or bins. For example, used gloves, paper towels or gauze that have
touched blood or OPIM all belong in biohazard containers.
Other examples of engineering controls are self-sheathing needles, and

biological safety cabinets.

Page 1.6.6 CB#: 0016
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Graphic description:
Keep the following in mind when handling blood or other OPIM: Please see Interaction notes or embedded resources section for pop-up
• Wear gloves when handling blood or OPIM definition.
• Wear eye protection if there’s any chance of splash
• Check PPE for tears, holes or punctures
• Ensure PPE is clean and fits properly
• Remove PPE properly to avoid self-contamination
• Place used PPE in the proper containers
Note to QA:
Audio:
You can wear personal protective equipment such as gloves, gowns, face
shields and eye protection to prevent transmitting BBPs. There are some
things you should keep in mind. Any time you’re handling blood or OPIM,
wear gloves. Many first aid kits contain these. Any time there’s a chance that
blood or OPIM may splash, wear eye protection.
Before using any PPE, check it for damage. If you find any tears, holes,
punctures or anything else that will diminish the PPE’s effectiveness, take it
out of service immediately. Make sure that your PPE is clean and fits properly.
For example, make sure safety glasses are clear and don’t slip and gloves are
snug, but not too tight.
Properly remove equipment to avoid self-contamination. In other words,

avoid touching areas of the PPE that may have been exposed to BBPs. Finally,
place used PPE and other materials in the proper container. For example, used
gloves should go in a biohazard bin or bag.
[pop-up text for “self-contamination,” title: Self-contamination] Self-contamination occurs when you expose yourself to BBPs while removing PPE. You can
avoid self-contamination by not touching areas of the PPE that may have been exposed to BBPs.
For example, when you remove your gloves, grasp the edge of one glove on the wrist. Pull the glove off, turning it inside out. Insert a finger into the opening of
the other glove, avoiding contact with the outer surface of the glove. Pull the glove off, turning it inside out, and dispose of both the gloves into an approved
waste container.

Cleaning Up Blood and OPIM Graphic description:
To clean up blood or OPIM:
1. Carefully cover surface spills with paper towels.
2. Gently pour a 10% (or 1-to-10) bleach to water solution over
towels/equipment.
3. Allow the bleach solution to remain in place for at least 10 minutes.
4. Disinfect or properly discard any cleanup supplies.
Note: Use autoclaves in medical environments to sterilize equipment and treat

infectious waste. Note to QA:
Audio:
If you see blood or OPIM, don appropriate PPE and then clean them up
immediately. Your employer may provide a spill kit or offer more specific
guidelines regarding how to clean up blood or OPIM, but here are some
general rules to follow.
For surface spills, carefully cover the blood or OPIM with paper towels to
reduce the chance of splashing. As soon as possible, soak contaminated
equipment or paper-towel-covered surfaces in a 10%, or 1-to-10, solution of
bleach to water. Allow the solution to remain in place for at least 10 minutes
to ensure that infectious pathogens are dead. Immediately dispose of or
disinfect any cleaning supplies you used in the decontamination process in the
proper containers. We’ll talk about disposal momentarily.
In medical environments, use autoclaves to sterilize equipment and to treat

infectious waste.
Page 23 of 31
Page 1.6.9 CB#: 0019
Disposal Graphic description:
Plan for and follow these disposal guidelines:
• Place sharp objects in sharps containers
• Dispose of blood, OPIM and medical waste in infectious waste or biohazard
containers
• Never recap needles unless you have to
• Use mechanical means to clean up broken glass or metal shavings
Remember to decontaminate any areas or equipment exposed to blood or OPIM

Note to QA:
using a 10% bleach solution for at least 10 minutes.
Audio:
When you clean up and throw away blood, OPIM, medical waste or sharp
objects, you’ve got to plan ahead. Have the right cleanup tools on hand as
well as the correct disposal containers.
Place sharp objects like broken glass and metal shavings in a sharps container.
Remember that these are labeled and usually red or orange. Dispose of blood,
OPIM and medical waste in infectious waste or biohazard containers. These
containers will be labeled and will also include the international biohazard
symbol.
Never break, shear, bend, or recap a needle unless absolutely necessary. For
example, if you have to help a diabetic with an insulin shot, dispose of the
needle directly into a sharps container – do not recap it first.
Clean up sharp objects using mechanical means, such as a disposal dustpan

and broom, tongs or forceps. Never put yourself at risk by picking up broken
glass with your fingers! Once you’ve cleaned up, remember to decontaminate
any areas or equipment exposed to blood or OPIM using a 10% bleach
solution for at least 10 minutes.
