Universal PrecautionsUniversal Precautions
Universal Precautions is an approach to
infection control. According to the concept of
Universal Precautions, all human blood and
certain human body fluids are treated as if
known to be infectious for HIV, HBV, and
other bloodborne pathogens.
![Page 16: MCPS Systemwide Safety Programs Department of Facilities Management](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681313d550346895d97b776/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Universal PrecautionsUniversal Precautions
Assume infectious:Blood
Other potentially infectious materials (OPIM)◦ Semen, vaginal secretions, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid,
pleural fluid, pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid,
saliva in dental procedures, any body fluid visibly contaminated
with blood
◦ When differentiation between body fluids is difficult or
impossible, consider potentially infectious
