OSHA’s recommendations for personal protection are based on the Univesal Precautions, set forth by the guidlines prescribed by the centers for Disease Control, for all workers who may be in contact with blood or other body fluids.
Protect Yourself – Your Staff – You’re Family.
How to Proceed In Accidental Spills
Absorbent Material is idea for use on potentially infectious spilled body fluids such as blood. urine, vomit, and feces. The following simple steps are recommended for fast,safe clean-up.
1.Inspect area with the biohazard and CORDEN off area affected.
2.Put on two pairs of MEDICAL GLOVES and all other appropriate protective equipment and clothing required for the clean-up. Why 2 pairs? 1 Pair could be punctured.
