17 APPENDIX A WHAT ARE UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS? Universal precautions are simple methods to create barriers between a care provider and a student s blood and/or body fluid. Among other things, these precautions call for: 1. Protective equipment - Staff who may come in contact with blood and/or body fluid should wear gloves (preferably latex-free). Where there is potential for splashes of large amounts of blood or body fluid, staff should have gowns, goggles/face shields/masks, and any other effective barrier. 2. Puncture-Proof Containers - Any school staff member who administers injections should have puncture-proof containers to dispose of contaminated needles. Contaminated needles transmit HIV and the hepatitis viruses. 3. Disinfectants to kill viruses - To clean spills, staff should have readily available to them disinfectants, including common household bleach diluted with water (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) which has been quite effective in killing HIV and the hepatitis viruses. 4. Discarding items and articles contaminated with blood and/or body fluids will be coordinated with medical personnel. 5. Adequate facilities and opportunities for school staff to wash their hands immediately after an exposure. 17
