1. This presentation includes:Calling for Help!Bloodborne Pathogen Training This is a required part of the First Aid, CPR, and AED training at Notre Dame. University Health Services

2. In an EMERGENCY call 911Alternate if using a cell phone on the Notre Dame campus: 574-631-5555 Call Immediately: • If someone collapses • Is having difficulty breathing • Is having chest pains that don’t go away • Is having a stroke • Has serious bleeding • Is unconscious • From a 631 or 634 prefix number. It goes directly to the Notre Dame dispatcher. • From a cell phone In this area it usually goes to the Indiana State Police dispatcher, who has to transfer it to a local dispatcher after learning the location of the emergency. In a cardiac emergency when every second counts, we therefore recommend using the local emergency number – 574-631-5555

3. In all Medical Emergencies at ND • In Indiana, the Local Fire Department is also dispatched , so that help can get to the scene quickly. • Notre Dame Fire Department personnel are combination Fire Fighters / Emergency Medical Technicians (as a minimum) • Notre Dame Security/Police will assist as the scene as needed. They also provide: • Transportation to Health Services or the Emergency Room of a local hospital in non-emergency cases • Transportation back to campus

4. For a STROKE - THINK FAST Face – Weakness on one side Arm – Weakness or Numbness in one arm Speech – Slurred speech or trouble getting words out Time – Note time of incident - Call 911 Immediately For Serious Bleeding Call, then apply direct pressure to the wound as soon as possible. If you see a person collapse Call, then start CPR as Soon as you can! If you are trained, use CPR with the breathing. The following is a brief demonstration of CPR that a dispatcher may tell a caller what to do if they are NOT trained in CPR.

6. Preventing OccupationalExposuretoBlood-borne Pathogens

7. O. S. H. A The Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens Regulation was issued to protect employees by reducing or removing the hazards of bloodborne pathogens from the workplace

8. By providing safeguards • Proper work practices • Engineering Controls • Use of protective equipment • Training Disease transmission can be minimized and lives saved.

9. Notre Dame’s Blood-borne PathogensControl Plan

10. Purpose: • To ensure protection for University employees against exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials

11. Scope This applies to all applicable activities that involve the potential for exposure to blood or potentially infectious material

12. Terminology • Bloodborne PathogensIs a virus found in human blood which can be transmitted from person to person and causes disease in humans

13. Terminology Potentially Infectious Materials: All bodily fluids and non-intact tissue of the body

14. Terminology • Exposure IncidentA specific eye, nose, mucous membrane or open lesion contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials.

15. Terminology • Occupational ExposureAn exposure incident which occurs while the person is performing job tasks.

16. Terminology • Regulated Waste Waste which contains blood, semen, or vaginal secretions. These discarded materials shall be double bagged and labeled as Biohazardous Waste and shall NOT be discarded into regular trash.

17. Pathogens Enter the Body By: • Direct Contact • Indirect Contact • Airborne Contact • Vector-borne Contact

18. Diseases of Concern Disease Affects the • Hepatitis B (HBV) Liver • Symptoms include: jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, intermittent nausea, vomiting • Symptoms can occur 1-9 months after exposure • HBV can survive for at least one week in dried blood

19. Diseases of Concern Disease Affects the • Hepatitis C (HCV) Liver • Symptoms include fatigue, jaundice, tenderness in the abdomen and other flu-like symptoms. • HCV slows down the ability of the liver to circulate blood and remove toxins. • No vaccine available.

20. Diseases of Concern Disease Affects the • Meningitis Brain and Spinal Cord • HIV Immune System • Tuberculosis Respiratory System • Herpes Skin /Mucous Membranes

21. MethodsofProtection

22. Engineering Controls • The use of devices or equipment for purposes of making physical contact with blood or potentially infectious materials that may result in an Occupational Exposure • For example: • Mops, tongs, tweezers, tools

23. Engineering Controls • The use of devices or equipment for purposes of making physical contact with blood or potentially infectious materials that may result in an Occupational Exposure • For example: • Mops, tongs, tweezers, tools

24. Engineering Controls • The use of devices or equipment for purposes of making physical contact with blood or potentially infectious materials that may result in an Occupational Exposure • For example: • Mops, tongs, tweezers, tools

25. Engineering Controls • Hand Washing Facilities • Antiseptic Hand Cleanser • Towelettes • Cloth or Paper Towels

26. Engineering Controls • Appropriate pipeting devices • Practices following the handling of blood or other potentially infectious materials

27. Engineering Controls • Appropriate sharps containers • Use of designated blood clean up kits

28. Engineering Controls • Proper laundering of contaminated clothing • At ND - sent to St. Michael’s Laundry for safe cleaning

29. Workplace Practices • Proper hand washing practices • Proper identification and awareness of potentially infectious sources

30. Workplace Practices • Treating every bodily fluid and every person as if they were potentially infectious. • Proper Communication between people who will be handling potentially infectious material( signs, labels)

31. Personal Protective Equipment • Latex or Nitrile Gloves • Goggles • Face Shields • CPR barrier devices • Resuscitation Shields • Resuscitation Masks • Bag-Valve-Mask

32. Signs and Labels for Potentially Infectious Material • Required for • Regulated Waste Containers • Items being sent to be laundered • Items stored • Evidence Items to be analyzed or held for later use • Items being mailed or shipped

33. Occupational ExposureProcedures

34. Procedure for Employees • Wash thoroughly the site of the exposure • Notify your supervisor and explain what happened • Obtain a completed “Supervisors Report of Injury” • Seek medical attention at the University Health Services

35. Post Exposure Evaluation and Follow Up • It will be at the discretion of the medical profession as to the need for further evaluation, testing, and counseling.

36. Clean Up Responsibilities • In your own work Area • Clean up in your own work area • Inside University buildings but outside your work area • Designated Building Services person

37. Clean Up Responsibilities • Outside of a building but on University property: • Cleaned by a trained person in consultation with Risk Management & Safety

38. Clean Up Responsibilities • Blood or other potentially infectious material on a person’s body shall only be cleaned up by one of the following: • Trained first responder • Athletic Trainer • University Health Services Employee • Designated First Aid responder who is trained

39. Call Risk Management and Safety 631-5037 • If you have any questions. • If you have Biohazardous Material to be picked up.

40. In Summary • Every person is a potential source of infection

41. In Summary • Treat ALL body fluids as if infectious

42. In Summary • Use precautions on everyone

43. In Summary • Protect yourself through • Workplace practices • Personal Protective Equipment

44. In Summary • Protect others through the use of appropriate • Containers • Signs • Labels

45. In Summary • Universal Precautions MUST be observed to prevent contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. They are MANDATORY.
