Universal precautions are recommended practices to minimize exposure to infectious diseases transmitted through blood and body fluids. Bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or body fluids. Proper hand hygiene, use of barriers like gloves, and clean up of contaminated surfaces are essential to control the spread of infections in school settings from exposure to blood or body fluids from common incidents like nosebleeds, cuts, or vomit. Education of school staff on infection control practices helps maintain student and employee health.
