Every day millions of people are exposed to bloodborne pathogens that could infect them with debilitating viruses, bacteria, or other biohazard toxins.
Casper Safety LLC can evaluate your need for an effective bloodborne pathogens plan. Although the main focus of this standard lies upon the medical industry, every employee (no matter where they work) can potentially be exposed to bloodborne pathogens in their every day work environment. It is for this reason that every facility should establish and maintain an effective program that protects your employees whenever they come in contact with a biohazard.
A biohazard is any pathogenic microorganism that is present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Let Casper Safety LLC give you a free evaluation of what kind of bloodborne pathogens program you may need. We custom design every program to be effective in preventing injuries/exposures and protecting all employees. We then allow a full “probationary” year for the new program. This allows any changes in everyday function or tasks to become habit in addition to allowing all employees and supervisors to give much needed input and suggestions to make the program better for the next year. Usually our programs are so well tailored to each facility that no changes are needed when the program is reevaluated the following year.
In addition to establishing the written plan for controlling bloodborne pathogens, we ensure that quality training is given to all potentially exposed employees. Our training is fun and informative for everyone. A demonstration that always is a favorite of each class involves observing the spread of “germs” by following how they are spread. This is done using a white powdery substance that can be seen by a black-light. The substance is on the surface of something that is passed around and by the end of the class; many students have it in many places on their person.
We believe in quality training and effective risk management. When employees are safer, costs go down. Consider Casper Safety LLC for your bloodborne pathogen training needs.
