EXPOSURE INCIDENT PROTOCOL: EXPEDITE MEDICAL CARE AND REDUCE RISK OF INFECTION

From

Web site

By Leslie Canham, CDA, RDA 

"An exposure incident is a specific eye, mouth, other mucous membrane, non-intact skin, or parenteral contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials that results from the performance of an employee's duties. Parenteral means piercing mucous membranes or the skin barrier through such events as needlesticks, human bites, cuts, and abrasions. 

When an exposure incident occurs, immediate action must be taken to expedite medical treatment for the exposed employee and to assure compliance with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard."
