Universal PrecautionsUniversal Precautions
Universal Precautions is an approach to
infection control. According to the concept of
Universal Precautions, all human blood and
certain human body fluids are treated as if
known to be infectious for HIV, HBV, and
other bloodborne pathogens.
Universal PrecautionsUniversal Precautions
Assume infectious:Blood
Other potentially infectious materials (OPIM)◦ Semen, vaginal secretions, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid,
pleural fluid, pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid,
saliva in dental procedures, any body fluid visibly contaminated
with blood
◦ When differentiation between body fluids is difficult or
impossible, consider potentially infectious

Universal Precautions – Post-Universal Precautions – Post-ExposureExposure
Free medical evaluation, follow-up for any
employee with blood-exposure incident
A blood exposure incident is a specific eye, nose,
mouth, other mucous membrane, non-intact
skin, or parenteral (piercing) contact with blood
or other potentially infectious materials resulting
from the performance of an employee's duties
Universal Precautions – Post-Universal Precautions – Post-ExposureExposure
