Bloodborne Pathogens
It is likely you will encounter visible blood or other
bodily fluids in the operating room. Special cleaning
procedures are required when blood or other bodily
fluids are present.
Blood or other bodily fluids may contain
disease causing micro-organisms (pathogens)
that can be transmitted to others that come
in direct contact.
Never pick up sharps such as discarded needles with
your hands. Always use a mechanical device such as
tongs to pick up the sharp and place in the appropriate
container.
