Charla de seguridad sobre Biological hazards and sharps

Qué es

Needles, sharps and materials contaminated with blood, body fluids or waste that can cause needlestick injuries and viral or bacterial infection.

Controles que hay que revisar, del más eficaz al menos eficaz

1. Use sharps containers and tongs or pick-up tools so nobody has to handle needles or sharps by hand.
2. Never recap needles or reach blindly into bins, bags, gaps or crevices where sharps may be hidden.
3. Provide hand-washing facilities, and clean up blood and body fluid spills using a spill kit and suitable disinfectant.
4. Offer vaccination, such as for hepatitis B, to workers at risk of exposure to blood, body fluids or contaminated waste.
5. Have a post-exposure procedure: wash the area, report the incident and get prompt medical assessment after any needlestick injury.
6. Wear puncture-resistant gloves and protective clothing when handling waste or material that may be contaminated.
