It covers exposure categories, standard precautions, engineering and work practice controls, inspections, and hand-washing facilities. It requires implementation schedules, personal protective equipment for specified tasks, and controls to eliminate or minimize employee exposure.
Applies to: It applies to all organizations on base whose personnel have reasonably anticipated occupational exposure to blood, body fluids, or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) in the course of their assigned duties, but does not apply to the Air Force Reserves or Air National Guard units and members.
Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) will be required for employees engaged in Category I tasks. (paragraph 1)
Appropriate PPE, as determined by the supervisor, in consultation with Bioenvironmental Engineering, will be readily available to every employee engaged in Category II tasks. (paragraph 1)
Assume all blood and body fluids (semen, vaginal fluids, cerebrospinal, lymph, pericardial, and so forth) are potentially infectious and appropriate barriers must be established between the patient's blood, body fluids, and other infectious materials and the health care and public safety worker. (paragraph 1)
Under circumstances where differentiation between body fluid types is difficult or impossible, consider all body fluids potentially infectious. (paragraph 1)
Consider all blood, body fluid, or OPIMs infectious regardless of the perceived status of the source individual. (paragraph 1)
