  1. Clinton Community College Bloodborne Pathogen Training

  2. WHY ARE YOU HERE? • OSHA mandates training under 29-CFR 1910.1030 Bloodborne Pathogens. • 1 - This training session is intended for employees who are likely to be exposed to potentially infected bodily fluids, including first-aid responders, maintenance personnel, janitorial staff, and any personnel assigned to clean up body fluids after an accident. • 2 - Other employees receive the same training for awareness purposes so they understand that for their own protection they should not touch blood or bodily fluids and they understand to whom they should report a spill of blood or bodily fluids so it can be cleaned up correctly. • 3 - People trained in First Aid and CPR - The more you know, the better you will perform in real situations! • Link to OSHA STANDARD

  3. What is a BB Pathogen? Microorganisms that are carried in the blood that can cause disease in humans

  4. Common BB Pathogen Diseases • Malaria • Brucellosis • Syphilis • Hepatitis B(HBV) • Hepatitis C(HCV) • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

  5. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) • HIV is the virus that leads to AIDS • HIV depletes the immune system • HIV does not survive well outside the body • No threat on contracting HIV through casual contact

  6. 1—1.25 million Americans are chronically infected Symptoms include: jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, intermittent nausea , vomiting May lead to chronic liver disease, liver cancer, and death Vaccination available since 1982 HBV can survive for at least one week in dried blood Symptoms can occur 1-9 months after exposure Hepatitis B (HBV)
