MIOSHA Part 554 Bloodborne Infectious Diseases Train the Trainer Program Module 1 Presented By: Consultation Education & Training (CET) Division Michigan Occupational Safety & Health Administration Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth (517)

Welcome Welcome to the MIOSHA Bloodborne Infectious Diseases Online Training Program. This program is designed to provide an overview of the MIOSHA bloodborne standard. It does NOT fullfill all the training requirements in the Bloodborne Standard nor is it intended to replace facility specific training.

Intended Use: “Train the Trainer” Provide bloodborne infectious diseases information to those who provide training to employees who are at risk of occupational exposure. Provide additional resources to assist trainers in becoming more knowledgeable in topics related to bloodborne infectious diseases.

Module 1will provide an overview of the MIOSHA Bloodborne Infectious Diseases Standard Rules 1-9.

Overview of the Bloodborne Standard Rule 1 Scope Rule 2 Definitions Rule 3 Exposure determination Rule 4 Exposure control plan Rule 5 Universal precautions Rule 6 Engineering controls Rule 7 Work practices Rule 8 Protective work clothing and equipment Rule 9 Housekeeping Rule 10 Regulated waste Rule 11 Laundry Rule 12 HIV and HBV research laboratories and production facilities Rule 13 Vaccinations and postexposure follow-up Rule 14 Communication of hazards to employees Rule 15 Recordkeeping Rule 16 Information and training Appendices Module 1:Module 2:

Rule 1 Scope These rules apply to all employers that have employees with occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials.

Rule 2 Definitions Bloodborne Pathogens: pathogenic microorganisms present in human blood including HBV, HIV and [HCV]. Contaminated: presence or the reasonably anticipated presence of blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM).

Rule 2 Definitions Continued * NOT included: Vomit Urine Feces Sweat Tears Spit Materials included:  Semen  Vaginal secretions  Amniotic fluid  Synovial fluid  Saliva in dental procedures Other Potentially Infectious Materials (OPIM) *Unless visually contaminated with blood or OPIM

Rule 2 Definitions Continued Contaminated Sharps: contaminated object that can penetrate the skin, including:   Needles   Scalpels   Broken glass   Broken capillary tubes   Exposed ends of dental wires

Rule 2 Definitions Continued Engineering Controls: controls (e.g., sharps disposal containers, self-sheathing needles, safer medical devices, such as sharps with engineered sharps injury protections and needleless systems) that isolate or remove the bloodborne pathogen hazard from the workplace.

Rule 2 Definitions Continued Exposure: reasonably anticipated skin, eye, mucous membrane, or parenteral contact with blood or [OPIM] that may result from the performance of an employee’s duties. Exposure Incident: specific eye, mouth, other mucous membrane, nonintact skin, or parenteral contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials that results from the performance of an employee’s duties.* * Does not include incidental exposures which may take place on the job, which are neither reasonable nor routinely expected

Assessing Risk Exposed person without HBV immunity (vaccine) via needlestick from confirmed HBV source:   6-30% acquire HBV if no post-exposure follow-up   Post-exposure administration of Hepatitis B immune globulin and vaccine is >90% effective in preventing HBV infection. HIV exposure via needlestick from positive source is average of 0.3% become HIV + * NIOSH Alert Publication No Preventing Needlestick Injuries in Health Care Settings (External link)(External link)

Rule 2 Definitions Continued Needleless Systems: means a device that does not use needles for:   Collection or withdrawal of bodily fluids   Administration of medication or fluids   Other procedure involving potential for occupational exposure Sharps with engineered sharps injury protections: [devices that have] built-in safety feature or mechanism that effectively reduces the risk of an exposure incident.

Examples of Safer syringes Self-Sheathing Retractable Attached to syringe needle

Examples of Phlebotomy Safer Devices Attached to blood tube holder

Examples of Retracting lancets with safety features Before During After In use After use

Rule 2 Definitions Continued Regulated Waste: Liquid or semiliquid blood or [OPIM] Contaminated items that would release blood or [OPIM] if compressed. Items which are caked with dried blood or [OPIM] Contaminated sharps Pathological and microbiological waste that contains blood or [OPIM] Note: If material is dripping or caked (with dried blood), it must be disposed as regulated waste.

The next slide will provide questions to assist with reviewing the Bloodborne Infectious Diseases Standard Rule 2 Definitions

Rule 2 Definitions Questions and Answers: True or False: Hepatitis C is a bloodborne pathogen. True Blood exposure on intact skin is considered an exposure incident. False. Rule 2 (o) Definition for exposure incident includes nonintact skin Fecal material is classified as an “other potentially infectious material.” False, unless visually contaminated with blood. Rule 2(s)(J) Questions and answers will appear below. There will be delays to allow time to answer the questions.

Rule 3 Exposure Determination Evaluate routine and reasonably anticipated tasks to determine employee exposure to blood or [OPIM] Classify employees as either category A or B

Rule 3 Exposure Determination Category “A” involves exposure or reasonably anticipated exposure during routine and nonroutine required tasks. Includes emergency/1st aid responders. Category “B” do not require tasks that involve exposure to blood or other potentially infectious material. Determine without regard to protective equipment. Determine/document rationale. Maintain list of all “A” job classifications.

Rule 4 Exposure Control Plan Exposure Determination (Category A or B) Summary of the training program. Procedures for evaluating exposure incidents Task specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to include:   Employee recognition of exposure   Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) selection, use, maintenance, and disposal   Contingency Plans Task-specific SOPs for management of inadvertent exposures such as needlesticks

Rule 4 Exposure Control Plan Continued Review at least annually: Tasks and procedures Changes in technology that eliminate or reduce exposure Document consideration and implementation of medical devices that are:   Appropriate: does not cause death, injury or illness in the patient   Commercially available   Effective: reduces or eliminates potential for employee exposure to blood and OPIM

Rule 4 Exposure Control Plan Employer shall solicit input from non- managerial employees involved in direct patient care in the:   Identification;   Evaluation; and,   Selection of effective engineering and work practice controls. Must document in the plan

The next slide will provide questions to assist with reviewing the Bloodborne Infectious Diseases Standard: Rule 3 Exposure Determination Rule 4 Exposure Control Plan

Rule 4 Exposure Control Plan Questions and Answers: True or False: Annual review of the exposure control plan is required. True. Rule 4(d) Non-managerial employees are to be involve in the selection of effective engineering controls. True.
