Infection is caused by pathogens ('bugs') such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa or fungi getting into or onto the body.
It can take some time before the microbes multiply enough to trigger symptoms of illness, which means an infected person may unwittingly be spreading the disease during this incubation period.
Infection control in the workplace aims to prevent pathogens from coming into contact with a person in the first place.
Employers are obliged under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (2004) to provide a safe workplace for their employees, including the provision of adequate infection control procedures and the right equipment and training.
Infection prevention and control is required to prevent the transmission of communicable diseases in all health care settings.
Infection prevention and control demands a basic understanding of the epidemiology of diseases; risk factors that increase patient susceptibility to infection; and the practices, procedures and treatments that may result in infections.
The risk of acquiring a healthcare-associated infection is related to the mode of transmission of the infectious agent , the type of patient-care activity or procedure being performed and the underlying patient's host defenses.
Healthcare workers should be vaccinated against preventable diseases such as hepatitis B.
Personnel at risk for exposure to tuberculosis should be screened per recommendations.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT-Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to a variety of barriers used either alone or in combination to protect health care workers from contact with transmissible pathogens.
These include single-use disposable gloves, aprons and long-sleeved gowns as well as facial protection for eyes, nose and mouth.
Facial protection, footwear and hair cover or cap.For PPE to be protective and considered appropriate, blood and body fluids must not be able to penetrate the PPE material.
The equipment must be accessible to the employee and must be worn whenever there is the potential for exposure to infectious material; it must be removed before leaving the work area and must be placed in an area designated for PPE.
Ensure sufficient supplies of appropriate PPE. HCWs should be trained on the use of PPE as part of the infection prevention and control (IPC) training.
PPE should be removed prior to leaving the isolation room and discarded into appropriate health care waste stream.
PPE should be put on and taken off in correct sequence and disposed in accordance with the Biomedical Waste Management and Handing Rules 2016, and 2018.
Hand hygiene should always be the final step following removal and disposal of PPE.
All respirators should be fit-tested for each individual so that each person is assured that his or hers is working properly. Males must have their facial hair to achieve a tight fit.
Uses-Healthcare workers (HCWs) who provide direct care to patients and who may come in contact with blood, body fluids, excretions, and secretions.
Support staff including cleaners, and laundry staff in situations where they may have contact with blood, body fluids, secretions, and excretions.
Laboratory staff, who handle patient specimens
Family members who provide care to patients and are in a situation where they may have contact with blood, body fluids, secretions and excretions.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Annual Requirement
In accordance with the Plant City Police
Department Standard Operating Procedure all
officers must be provided with bloodborne
pathogen training annually. Please review the
information provided in this lesson by
reviewing each slide carefully.
While there is no examination associated with
this lesson, each slide must be reviewed to
recieve credit for completion.
3. What are Bloodborne Pathogens
Bloodborne Pathogens are disease causing
microorganisms that may be present in
human blood. They may be transmitted
with any exposure to blood or other
potentially infectious material.
Two pathogens of significance are
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
4. Hepatitis B
What is Hepatitis B?
◦ One of the five viruses that causes illness directly affecting the
liver
◦ Major cause of viral hepatitis which is preventable through
immunization
Hepatitis B Symptoms:
◦ Weakness, fatigue, anorexia, nausea, abdominal pain, fever,
headache, possible jaundice (A yellow discoloration of the skin)
◦ Blood will test positive for the HBV surface antigen within 2 to
6 weeks after symptoms develop
◦ May show no symptoms, and therefore not be diagnosed
5. HBV Facts
200 out of 8700 health care workers contracting
Hepatitis B will die yearly.
HBV is more persistent than HIV in that it is able
to survive for at least a week in dried blood on
environment surfaces or contaminated
instruments.
Approximately 85% of patients recover in 6 - 8
weeks.
6. What is HIV?
Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a virus
that infects immune system T4 blood cells
in humans and renders them less effective
in preventing disease
It is the virus identified as being
responsible for Acquired
Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
7. HIV Symptoms
Night sweats, weight loss, fever, fatigue, gland
pain or swelling, muscle or joint pain
May feel fine and not be aware of exposure to
HIV for as much as 8 to 10 years
Blood tests may not show positive for as long as
a year, and therefore multiple tests may be
required to determine if the person has been
infected
8. HIV Facts
Estimates in the US say that 1 out of 250 people
are infected with HIV
There are over 100 case reports of health care
workers whose HIV infection is associated with
occupational exposure
Over 200,000 AIDS patients have been reported
to the CDC, 84 of which are health care workers
with no other identified reason for infection
9. Universal Precautions to be Taken by
PCPD Members
Wear disposable surgical gloves when contact with blood or other
potentially infectious materials, or a member of a high risk group, is
likely.
Wash hands thoroughly as soon as possible after contact with blood or
other potentially infectious materials or a member of a high risk
group. Members should wash hands even if gloves were worn during
contact.
When hand washing facilities aren't present, an antiseptic hand cleanser
should be used until they are. When using such a cleanser, officers
should allow hands to air dry by rubbing them together in a vigorous
manner before engaging in other activities.
Carefully bandage open wounds and cuts on their hands and lower arms
to avoid contact with contaminated objects. Bandages should be sealed
on four sides and should be changed if they become soiled or wet.
10. Universal Precautions to be Taken by
PCPD Members, cont.
Supervisors should be observant for open wounds and cuts on
their subordinates and ensure proper precautions are taken.
Members are cautioned to be aware that, in the event
contaminated substances transfer to their hands or clothing, any
object they touch or come into contact with may also become
contaminated.
Gloves should be removed after contact with injured persons or
members of a high risk group, between tasks, and when
departing an accident or crime scene. Contaminated clothing
must be removed immediately or as soon thereafter as possible.
All departmental property and equipment should be cleaned and
decontaminated with an appropriate disinfectant after contact
with blood or other potentially infected materials.
11. Universal Precautions to be Taken by
PCPD Members, cont.
Members should not eat, drink, smoke, handle contact
lenses, or apply cosmetics or lip balm in situations where
there is a likelihood of exposure to blood or other
potentially infectious materials.
Members should wear personal protective equipment
(PPE), as appropriate, given the nature of the specific
hazard
Contaminated personal protective equipment and other
contaminated materials should be properly disposed of in a
red biohazard bag or container.
12. Conducting Searches
Officers should use extraordinary care when conducting
searches of persons, places, and things.
Officers should never blindly place their hands into areas
where there may be sharp objects that could puncture the
skin
Vehicles, pockets, purses, luggage, backpacks, bedding
and other objects should be searched slowly and
methodically
Members should never attempt to break, bend, shear,
recap or otherwise manipulate needles or syringes by hand
13. Entering and Remaining in Crime
Scenes
Officer responding to crime scenes contaminated with blood or body fluids
should exercise extreme care to avoid contact with contaminated
substances, whether those substances are wet or dry
Once the situation is assessed, personal protective equipment should be
worn, as necessary, to safely process or remain at the scene
Eye protection and facemasks should be worn whenever collecting blood
or body fluids as evidence
Members should wear eye protection in situations where blood or body
fluid splash is likely
Members should not smoke, eat, or drink at a crime scene. Members
should be aware that they will contaminate all objects they touch if they
themselves are contaminated
14. Entering and Remaining in Crime
Scenes, cont.
In keeping with good investigative practices, unauthorized
persons should not be permitted to enter crime scenes until
investigative activities and decontamination have been completed
If, in the members professional judgment, the use of personal
protective equipment would prevent them from performing a
needed medical or emergency procedure or would pose an
increased hazard to their safety, the wearing of personal
protective equipment may be waived. Great care and sound
judgment must be exercised in the event PPE is not utilized
Contaminated personal protective equipment should be removed
immediately upon exiting the crime scene and placed in an
appropriate biohazard container or red biohazard bag.
15. Handling Evidence/Property
Extraordinary care must be taken when handling evidence or property contaminated
with blood or other potentially infectious materials. Gloves and other PPE should be
worn as necessary.
Contaminated sharps should be picked up using mechanical means, such as pliers,
tweezers, tongs or other devices, or with appropriate hand protection
All contaminated evidence/property should be placed in appropriate containers,
according to the condition of the item
- Liquids should be placed in bottles or left in their original container if possible
- Syringes and other sharps should be placed into leak-proof, puncture resistant
containers that should always remain upright and never be allowed to overfill
- Wet items should be air-dried prior to packaging, when possible
- Items that are dry should be properly sealed (Double bagged) before submission
16. Handling Evidence/Property
Refrigerators, freezers and all packaging used to ship or
store contaminated evidence or property should be labeled
with bio-hazardous warning labels and the agency's name,
address, and date collected. Labeling should be
accomplished in a way that will prevent loss or
unintentional removal of the labels.
No food or drink should be stored in a refrigerator, freezer
or other container together with contaminated evidence or
property, unless such food or drink is also contaminated
and has been properly packaged and labeled.
17. Personal Protective Equipment
The appropriate use of personal protective equipment is essential to
health and safety. Personal protective equipment is useless if it is not
used when needed, or if it is used improperly
If an officer has or develops an allergy to any personal protective
equipment or device (Such as vinyl gloves), they should advise their
supervisor. The supervisor should arrange for alternative types of
equipment, such as hypoallergenic gloves, glove liners, etc., to be
supplied to the employee.
Gloves should be worn by all employees whenever hand contact with
blood or other potentially infectious materials is anticipated.
Disposable, single-use gloves must be replaced as soon as possible if they
are contaminated, torn, punctured or otherwise lose their ability to
function as a barrier
Disposable gloves should not be washed or decontaminated for re-use
18. Personal Protective Equipment, cont.
Utility gloves, such as those made of vinyl, leather or other heavy material can be
decontaminated for re-use if their integrity has not been compromised. Utility
gloves must be discarded if they exhibit signs of deterioration or otherwise lose their
ability to function as a barrier.
Eye protection devices, such as goggles, glasses with side shields, face shields, etc.,
should be worn whenever splashes, spray, splatter, or dropping of blood or other
infectious materials may occur.
Protective body clothing, such as gowns or aprons, should be worn when body
exposure to blood or other infectious materials is anticipated. If a garment is
penetrated by blood or other potentially infectious materials, it should be removed
immediately or as soon thereafter as possible.
Contaminated PPE should be removed prior to leaving the work area or scene, if
feasible. The removed PPD should be placed in an appropriate bio-hazardous waste
container for disposal.
19. Removing Gloves
Grasp the outer surface of one
glove with the other gloved
hand
"rubber to rubber" and pull off
the
glove. Discard the glove into
the
designated receptacle.
2. Removing the second glove.
Note that the person touches
only
the "inside" surface of the
glove
with his bare hand.
20. Availability of Personal Protective
Equipment
An infectious disease kit containing the following types of PPE will be available to all
personnel having occupational exposure:
Decontamination and clean up materials will be distributed to all sergeants
Replacement PPE materials will be available from the police department's property
room
PPE will be considered appropriate only if it doesn't allow blood or other potentially
infectious materials to pass through to or reach the member's work clothes, skin or
mucous membranes under normal conditions of use and for the duration of time that
the PPE will be in use
Additional inventory of all listed equipment is maintained by the Administrative
Services Division. In cases of emergency, PPE reserves are available from the
equipment room located in the Uniform Patrol Squad Room.
Any use of PPE while working with bio-hazardous materials (excluding the routine
use of gloves/hand wipes, etc) must be documented in the applicable
incident/offense report.
"Bio-hazardous materials" warning labels and containers should be placed at all
locations where property and evidence packaging materials are located.
21. Availability of Personal Protective
Equipment
Disposable surgical gloves
Fluid resistant disposable gowns
Eye protection
Face mask/shield
Disposable shoe covers
Liquid hand disinfectant
Disposable towelettes
C.P.R. Rescue Mask
Red Bag for bio-hazardous Waste
22. Cleaning Contaminated Areas &
Clothing
Equipment contaminated with blood or other potentially infectious
materials should be decontaminated before being stored or returned
to service. If decontamination procedures cannot be effected
immediately, the equipment will be taken out of service and secured
to avoid accidental contact. A "bio-hazardous warning" label will
then be attached until cleaning occurs.
Under no circumstances should disposable equipment be cleaned and
then re-used
Non-disposable equipment that cannot be decontaminated should be
discarded in the proper manner in a biohazard waste container/red
bag. Discarding of contaminated non-disposable equipment must be
reported via memorandum to the members chain of command in
order to obtain replacement. The memorandum must describe the
circumstances surrounding the contamination and the related report
number.
23. Cleaning Contaminated Areas &
Clothing
Contaminated equipment and surfaces should be
cleaned with hot soapy water and an approved
disinfectant or a solution containing one (1) part bleach
to ten (10) parts water. It should be noted that, once
the bleach solution is mixed, it becomes ineffective
after approximately 24 hours.
Contaminated areas, such as rooms, vehicle interiors,
and holding cells should be disinfected prior to being
reoccupied. A "bio-hazardous warning" notice should
be posted on all contaminated areas until
decontamination procedures are completed.
24. Cleaning Contaminated Items/Areas,
cont.
Bio-hazardous waste and cleaning materials should be placed into
appropriately labeled waste bags that have been constructed to prevent
leakage. All waste bags must be tied or taped shut. Torn bags or those
contaminated from the outside should be placed into a second bag. All
contaminated disposable equipment should be sealed in a container, bag,
or red bag (if appropriate) and properly labeled with a Bio-Hazardous
Material tag and brought to the Department's storage and pick up location
to await disposal. Contaminated equipment or materials destined for
disposal should never be placed into ordinary trash receptacles.
If a uniform or other article of clothing is soiled with blood or other
potentially infectious materials, it should be changed as soon as
possible. The clothing must then be placed in a color-coded leak proof
bag and labeled "Bio-hazard". Contaminated laundry will be transported
to a site selected by the agency to perform laundering. Members must
not clean contaminated laundry or take it home to be cleaned.
25. Documentation of the Exposure
Documentation of every exposure incident is essential. All exposure incident
will be treated as if the source individual is infectious. There are two forms
which must be completed following and exposure incident:
◦ Plant City Police Department Exposure Incident Report
◦ Exposure Incident Evaluation and Follow-up
After thoroughly cleaning the affected area with soap and water, the affected
member must report the exposure incident to their immediate supervisor as
soon as possible and then complete the required forms.
During daytime working hours the affected member should report the Lakeside
Occupational Health Center (2303 Airport Rd., Plant City, FL) and the South
Florida Baptist Hospital for after hour incidents. Officers should provide
documentation to staff. The nurse will provide consultation and, if appropriate,
make and appointment with the City physician for further assessment.
The affected member should also consult with the Chief of Police regarding the
possibility of obtaining a test of the source individual's blood to determine
infectivity.
The affected member's supervisors will assist in the completion of all necessary
documentation and decontamination efforts, if needed.
