Safetec Kit Series: Universal Precaution Compliance Kit

05/23/22 By Dana Szymkowiak

Taking the proper precautions around bloodborne pathogens is vital to workplace safety. Bloodborne pathogens include, but are not limited to, Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS. 

Pathogens can be present in human blood and cause disease. Bloodborne pathogens can be transmitted when blood or body fluid from an infected person enters another person’s body. Employees exposed to bloodborne pathogens through their job tasks are at risk of contracting severe or life-threatening illnesses. 

The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) applies to employees who work in occupations where they’re at higher risk of exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. Exposures to blood and other body fluids occur across a wide variety of occupations. Essentially, if any blood spills in your workplace, you are required to have supplies on hand to deal with it appropriately. Don’t worry. Safetec makes compliance easy!
