blood or other potentially infectious material (OPIM)
Breaking up fightsAssisting with nose bleeds, cutsAssisting diabetic studentWorking with combative students including
those who bite and break the skinProviding swallowing therapy BBP
What are bloodborne pathogens?
Viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms that are carried in the bloodstream and can cause serious diseases
The most common BBP are:Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)
These disease can lead to problems like cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver failure, aids and
death.
Many Symptoms appear months after exposure and HEP B can survive outside of the body for up to a week
How do BBPs enter your body?
Direct contact with blood or other body fluids of an infected person through:
Open cuts, wounds, skin abrasionsBlood splashing into your eyes, nose, or mouth
BLOOD + ENTER BODY
Belton ISD Provides the Hepatitis B vaccine to :Staff working in special-ed self-contained classroomsStaff working in the school health clinics Staff whose school duties placed them at risk to frequently
come in contact with blood or other potentially infectious material
3shots: 1-2 months apartNotify the BeltonISD School Health Coordinator immediately
if you have not received the vaccine (See Hep B form)• Most insurances do not charge. Belton ISD will provide if your
insurance does not cover the vaccine
Best Practice: Universal Precautions“All Blood is the Same”
When you take Universal Precautions you act like all human blood may be infectious and treat everyone the same. You will take
precautions with everyone’s blood.
• Best Practice: Wear Gloves
• Wear gloves when you might be coming in contact with someone’s blood or body fluids.
• Wear goggles or gowns if needed.
Best Practice: Wash Hands
• Wash hands with soap and water before eating, after any contact with blood, body fluids, or soiled objects, After using the toilet, after assisting with personal hygiene, after the removal of gloves
Best Practice: Proper Cleaning
• Belton ISD trains staff to clean up blood & body fluids properly using the right cleaners and the right method.
• Waste such as bloody tissues should be disposed of in a plastic-lined trash and after being double-bagged, can be thrown in the dumpster
Best Practice: Sharps Containers
Use sharps containers if you are diabetic and will be checking you blood sugar or give yourself injections at school and make sure students are using them as well. They are located in the health clinics, and we can make sure they are also available in staff lounges if needed.
Best Practice: Report Exposure
When blood or body fluids gets in through non-intact skin or mucous membranes, or if you are poked with a needle, do the following:•Wash the exposed area with soap and water, or irrigate the eyes with water •Report the incident to the Health Services Coordinator for investigation and proper referral•The district will provide for additional medical evaluation and treatment if needed•Health Services: Charlotte Smith, RN 215-2510
