Safety & Sanitation Mr. Smith

OSHA Congress passed the Occupational Health and Safety Act in 1970 regulates and monitors employee safety in the workplace Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) Guidelines for safety

MSDS sheet Material Safety Data Sheet Label chemicals clearly and apply warnings if the chemical is flammable, corrosive, or poisonous

8 sections of a MSDS sheet 1. Manufacturer Information 2. Hazard Ingredients/ Identity Information 3. Physical/Chemical Characteristics 4. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data 5. Reactivity Data 6. Health Hazard Data 7. Precautions for Safe Handling and Use 8. Control Measures

Physical, Chemical, Biological, and Zoonotic Hazards Physical Hazards Physical injuries from animals are the most common type of injury in the veterinary hospital Physical hazards are especially dangerous when working with farm animals due to their size. Back injuries due to improper lifting Falls on wet floors Exposure to x-rays

Physical, Chemical, Biological, and Zoonotic Hazards Chemical Hazards drugs, cleaning agents, insecticides, and anesthetic gases can cause damage to the skin and eyes and to the lungs if they are inhaled never mix chemicals together

Physical, Chemical, Biological, and Zoonotic Hazards Biological Hazards Biohazards include living tissue and organisms, blood, urine, live vaccines, and any medical waste that has come in contact with living tissue All “sharps” must be disposed of in red, sealed containers called sharps containers

Physical, Chemical, Biological, and Zoonotic Hazards A zoonotic hazard is any disease that can be passed from animals to humans Viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi can cause zoonotic disease

Prevent the spread of diseases Vaccination of animals and humans Proper waste disposal Isolating infected animals Proper handling of infected animals Proper sanitation of hospital Hand washing Wearing protective clothing

Drug Use and Safety In 1970 the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act was passed into law The Controlled Substance Act regulates the manufacture and distribution of drugs, and places all drugs into one of five schedules must be kept in a locked container that only approved people have access to (veterinarians and vet techs) Daily Log

SCHEDULE I A: Drug has no current accepted medical use. B: Drug has a high potential for abuse. Class examples: Heroin, Methaqualone, LSD, Peyote, Psilocybin, Marijuana, Hashish, Hash Oil, and various amphetamine variants.

SCHEDULE II A: Drug has current accepted medical use. B: Drug has high potential for abuse. Class examples: Dilaudid, Demerol, Methadone,Cocaine, PCP, Morphine and certain cannibis, amphetamine, and barbiturates types.

SCHEDULE III A: Drug has current accepted medical use. B: Drug has medium potential for abuse. Class examples: Opium, Vicodan, Tylenol w/codeine and other narcotic, amphetamine, andbarbiturate types.

SCHEDULE IV A: Drug has current accepted medical use. B: Drug has low potential for abuse. Class Examples: Darvocet, Xanax, Valium, Halcyon, Ambien, Ativan, and other barbiturate types

SCHEDULE V A: Drug has accepted medical use. B: Drug has lowest potential for abuse. Class examples: Lomotil, Phenergan, and liquid suspensions.

Sanitation Sanitation is the process of keeping something free of any elements that would endanger health. There are many methods used to keep the hospital environment and the animals and people within it sanitary.

Types of Sanitation Cleaning –physically removing all visible signs of dirt and organic matter such as feces, blood, hair, etc. Disinfecting –destroying most microorganisms on nonliving things by physical or chemical means. Sterilizing – destroying all microorganisms and viruses on an object using chemicals and/or heat. Antiseptics – solutions that destroy microorganisms or inhibit their growth on living tissue.

Methods of Sanitation There are many methods of sanitation commonly used in the veterinary hospital. The method chosen depends on the results that are desired and the cost.

1. Physical Cleaning – using a chemical with a mop or sponge, i. e 1. Physical Cleaning – using a chemical with a mop or sponge, i.e. scrubbing a patient for surgery or mopping a kennel floor. 2. Cold Sterilization – soaking items in a chemical disinfectant until they are used. This method is used for items too large to be autoclaved.

3. Dry Heat – incinerating an object or exposing it to flame, i. e 3. Dry Heat – incinerating an object or exposing it to flame, i.e. burning animal carcasses or infected tissue, or passing a microbiology “loop” through open flame. 4. Radiation – using ultraviolet or gamma rays. UV rays are used to sterilize rooms; gamma rays sterilize rubber, plastic, gloves, and suture material. This method is expensive and dangerous to use.

5. Filtration – removing particles from the air using a physical barrier, i.e. using facemasks, gloves, and gowns or a ventilations system. 6. Ultrasound – passing high frequency sound waves through a solution to create a vibration that scrubs an object to remove debris. Ultrasound is commonly used in veterinary hospitals as a method of cleaning instruments.

7. Autoclave – a sealed chamber in which objects are exposed to heat and steam under pressure. Autoclaves are commonly used to sterilize items used in surgery.
