1 Universal Precautions: METHODS OF IMPLEMENTATION AND CONTROL All employees will utilize universal precautions (MIOSHA Rule ) Rule 5. Universal precautions shall be observed to prevent contact with blood and other potentially infectious materials. If differentiation between body fluid types is difficult or impossible, all body fluids shall be considered potentially infectious materials. Preventing an Occupational Exposure: The primary means of minimizing the risk of infection from bloodborne pathogens is minimizing the risk of exposure. This is done through the use of engineering controls, work practice controls, personal protective equipment, good housekeeping practices, and periodic review of these preventive measures. Components of this section include: Engineering Controls All Areas Medical Dental Work Practice Controls All Areas Medical Dental Personal Protective Equipment All Areas Medical Dental Housekeeping Cleaning and Disinfection Laundry Regulated Waste Sharps Containers Other Regulated Waste Handling and Disposal Sharps Containers Other Regulated Waste ENGINEERING CONTROLS Engineering controls act on the source of the hazard and eliminate or reduce employee exposure without reliance on the employee to take self-protective action. This is achieved through the use of equipment designed for this purpose. This office utilizes the following engineering controls: I:\R JOHANSEN\OPPM\VBCHD\Manuals\ExposureControlPlan\Current\MethodsofImplementationControl.docPage 1 of 18 Rev:

2 Dental Area Disposable sharps container Surgical Gloves (latex or nitrile) Utility gloves Dental instruments Amalgam scrap container Shield Lathe High volume evacuation Tongs/forceps Eye Wash Station Biohazard Waste bags Shield for Visible Cure Light Rubber Dams Cassettes Medical Safety Retractable Needles Labeled regulated waste Nitrile Surgical Gloves Utility gloves Eye Wash Station a. For each engineering control checked above, detail its use on the Engineering Controls chart on the next page. This chart describes when and how these items are used (under what circumstances or in which particular tasks or procedures). b. Van Buren/Cass County District Health Department s Nursing Director & Community Dental Clinics will inspect and maintain the engineering controls checked above. This inspection will be conducted at least annually. They may use, at their discretion, the Engineering Control Inspection Sheets which are included in the Forms section of the exposure control plan. This inspection will include evaluation of the effectiveness of existing engineering controls and review the feasibility of instituting more advanced engineering controls. c. The Director of Nursing and the Community Dental Clinics shall solicit input from non-managerial employees responsible for direct patient care who are potentially exposed to injuries from contaminated sharps in the identification, evaluation, and selection of effective engineering and work practice controls and shall document the solicitation in the exposure control plan. They may do this, at their discretion, at staff meetings, in conjunction with the annual bloodborne pathogen training, by individual contact with employees, or at specially called meetings. d. In the dental office needle recapping is routinely done because such actions are required by a specific dental procedure. The justification for this procedure are that multiple injections and/or re-injections are necessary throughout many dental procedures. Needles are recapped to prevent an accidental needlestick exposure between injections. Needles are recapped using a needle recapping device or the one-handed scoop technique. e. In the Dental office needles are removed from the syringe because we use metal, non-disposable syringes that are sterilized after patient use. f. Outside the dental office, disposable syringes, and needles are used and discarded in a sharps container after each use. Lancets are used for finger sticks and are discarded immediately after use. g. In the Dental office regulated and liquid waste is disposed in an appropriate container that has a red Biohazard bag.
