BLOOD BORNE PATHOGENS AND
UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS
Important resource  See: www.hennepin.us/childcaremanual
Blood Borne Pathogens
• Micro-organisms that are present in human
blood and can cause disease.
• These pathogens include but are not limited
to Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
Transmission
• Blood Borne Pathogens are transmitted
through contact with infectious body fluids.
• Body fluids include: blood, urine, feces, and
vomit.

Universal Precautions:
Barriers for Infection Control
 Universal or Standard Precautions
An approach to infection
control where human blood
and certain body fluids are
treated as if infectious for HIV,
HBV, HCV and other blood
borne pathogens.
10
Barriers and Infection Control
Personal Protective Equipment
 Gloves
 Cleaning the area
 Discarding contaminated items
 Other barriers (mask, clothing, glasses)
11
OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASE
Important resource  See: www.hennepin.us/childcaremanual
Adult Immunizations
Should be reviewed by the
employee

•
•
•
Hepatitis B
Varicella (Chicken pox)
Tetanus, Pertussis (Tdap)
Influenza (Flu) - annually
13
Routes of Entry
 Inhalation
 Ingestion
 Contact with or
through skin
 Absorption or
penetration
14
Hand Washing
The single most important measure to reduce
the risk of transmitting organisms!
15
•
If hand washing is not possible, the use
of hand sanitizers is acceptable on a
temporary basis.
•
The CDC recommends alcohol-based
hand sanitizers as the most effective
agents for reducing the amount of
bacteria on the hands.

Ammonia
Products (QUATS)
CHEMICAL HAZARDS
When are you in danger from
chemicals at school?
•
•
•
•
Spills
Wrong Labels
Fumes
Follow MSDS/SDS for first aid
Use ALL your
senses to detect
hazards!
.
22
Be Sure to Check Labels
Hazard Communication
Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
(Formerly MSDS or Material Safety Data Sheets)
Chemical Hazards
Include:
 Cleaning Chemicals
 Bleach
