It also outlines requirements for an exposure control plan, personal protective equipment, housekeeping, waste disposal, vaccinations, and post-exposure procedures.
2. BLOODBORNEPATHOGENEXPOSURECONTROLPLAN
• Infinite CareNET is committed to providing a safe and healthful work environment
for our entire staff. In pursuit of this goal, the following exposure control plan
(ECP) is provided to eliminate or minimize occupational exposure to bloodborne
pathogens in accordance with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.1030, “Occupational
Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens.”
• The ECP is a key document to assist our organization in implementing and ensuring
compliance with the standard safety guidelines, protecting our employees. This ECP
includes:
• Determination of employee exposure
• Implementation of various methods of exposure control, including:
• Universal precautions
• Engineering and work practice controls
• Personal protective equipment
• Housekeeping
• Hepatitis B vaccination
• Post-exposure evaluation, follow-up, and investigation
• Communication of hazards to employees and training
• Recordkeeping
• Implementation methods are discussed in the subsequent pages of this ECP.
3. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
• The Clinical Operations Manager and Office Coordinators are responsible for
implementation of the ECP.
• The Medical Director of Clinic Services will maintain, review, and update the ECP at
least annually, and whenever necessary to include new or modified tasks and procedures
that affect occupational exposure.
• Office Coordinators will provide and maintain all necessary personal protective
equipment (PPE), engineering controls (e.g., sharps containers), labels, and red biohazard
bags as required by the standard.
• Office Coordinators will also be responsible for ensuring that all medical actions
required by the standard are performed and that appropriate employee health and OSHA
records are maintained. Contact location/phone number:
• The Operations Manager will be responsible for training, documentation of training, and
making the written ECP available to employees, OSHA, and NIOSH representatives.
• Those employees who are determined to have occupational exposure to blood or other
potentially infectious materials (OPIM) must comply with the procedures and work
practices outlined in this ECP.
4. EMPLOYEEEXPOSUREDETERMINATION
• The following is a list of all job classifications at our establishment in
which all employees have occupational exposure:
NOTE: Part-time, temporary, contract and per diem employees are
covered by the bloodborne pathogens standard. The ECP should
describe how the standard will be met for these employees.
Job Title Department / Location
Office Coordinator Clinic Services
Medical Assistant Clinic Services

practice controls will be used to prevent or minimize exposure to bloodborne
pathogens. The specific engineering controls and work practice controls
used are listed below:
• Non-glass capillary tubes
• SESIPs
• Needleless systems
6. EXPOSURE CONTROL–UNIVERSALPRECAUTIONS
• Universal precautions are a guideline to treat all human blood and other
potentially infections materials (OPIM) as if they were known to be
infectious for bloodborne pathogens. The guidelines are as follows:
• Use gloves, masks, and gowns if blood or OPIM exposure is anticipated.
• Use engineering and work practice controls to limit exposure.
• OPIM is defined by OSHA as the following human body fluids:
• semen and vaginal secretions
• cerebrospinal fluid
• synovial fluid
• pleural fluid
• pericardial fluid
• peritoneal fluid
• amniotic fluid
• saliva in dental procedures
• any body fluid that is visibly contaminated with blood, and all body fluids in
situations where it is difficult or impossible to differentiate between body
fluids
7. EXPOSURE CONTROL–ENGINEERINGCONTROLS
• Sharps disposal containers are inspected
and maintained or replaced by the Office
Coordinator or Housekeeping (if the
office space is shared) every 2 weeks or
whenever necessary to prevent
overfilling.
• Infinite CareNET identifies the need for
changes in engineering controls and work
practices through Review of OSHA
records and employee interviews.
• We evaluate new procedures and new
products regularly by literature reviewed
and supplier info. Both front-line workers
and management officials are involved in
this process through Ongoing Training.
• The Office Coordinator is responsible for
ensuring that these recommendations are
implemented.
8. EXPOSURECONTROL–PPE
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is provided to our employees at
no cost to them. Training in the use of the appropriate PPE for
specific tasks or procedures is provided by the Office Coordinator.
• All employees using any PPE must observe the following
precautions:
• Wash hands immediately after removing gloves or other PPE.
• Remove contaminated PPE before leaving the work area.
• Used PPE may be disposed of in red biohazard bags located throughout
the clinic.
• Remove any garment contaminated by blood or OPIM as soon as
feasible, in such a way as to avoid contact with the outer surface.
• The types of specific PPE available to employees are as follows:
• Disposable Gloves
• Replace gloves if torn, punctured, contaminated, or compromised.
• Wear gloves when it is anticipated that there may be hand contact
with blood or OPIM, and when handling or touching contaminated
items or surfaces.
• Never wash or decontaminate disposable gloves for reuse.
• Safety glasses
• Eye shields, Face shields
• Wear appropriate face and eye protection when splashes, sprays,
spatters, or droplets of blood or OPIM pose a hazard to the eye,
nose, or mouth.
9. EXPOSURECONTROL– HOUSEKEEPING
• Regulated waste is placed in containers which are closable,
constructed to contain all contents and prevent leakage,
appropriately labeled or color-coded, and closed prior to
removal to prevent spillage or protrusion of contents during
handling.
• The procedure for handling regulated waste is:
• (to be determined based on vendor’s instructions)
• Contaminated sharps are discarded immediately in containers
that are closable, puncture-resistant, leak proof on sides and
bottoms, and appropriately labeled or color-coded.
• Sharps disposal bins must be available in the proximity of areas
where sharps are used.
• The procedure for handling sharps disposal containers is:
• (to be determined based on vendor’s instructions)
• Bins and pails (e.g., wash or emesis basins) are cleaned and
decontaminated with a bleach solution as soon as feasible after
visible contamination.
• Broken glassware that may be contaminated is only picked up
using mechanical means, such as a brush and dustpan.
10. HEPATITISBVACCINATION
• Infinite CareNET, Corporate Training Department will provide
training to employees on hepatitis B vaccinations addressing safety,
benefits, efficacy, methods of administration, and availability.
• The hepatitis B vaccination series is available at no cost after initial
employee training and within 10 days of initial assignment to all
employees identified in the exposure determination section of this
plan. Vaccination is encouraged unless:
• Documentation exists that the employee has previously received the series
• Antibody testing reveals that the employee is immune
• Medical evaluation shows that vaccination is contraindicated.
• Following the medical evaluation, a copy of the health care
professional’s written opinion will be obtained and provided to the
employee within 15 days of the completion of the evaluation. It will
be limited to whether the employee requires the hepatitis vaccine and
whether the vaccine was administered.
• Vaccination will be provided by (facility that conducts new hire drug
testing) at the facility closest to the Clinic.
• If an employee declines the vaccination, the employee must sign a
declination form. Employees who decline may request and obtain the
vaccination at a later date at no cost.
• Documentation of refusal of the vaccination is kept at the Corporate
Offices at (address).
11. HEPATITISB VACCINEDECLINATION
I understand that due to my occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious
materials I may be at risk of acquiring hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. I have been
given the opportunity to be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine, at no charge to myself.
However, I decline hepatitis B vaccination at this time.
I understand that by declining this vaccine, I continue to be at risk of acquiring hepatitis
B, a serious disease. If in the future I continue to have occupational exposure to blood or
other potentially infectious materials and I want to be vaccinated with hepatitis B
vaccine, I can receive the vaccination series at no charge to me.
