Every employee needs to be warned of the potential danger in handling biohazards. Without labels and color-coded bags and containers, our early warning system is defeated. We can significantly reduce the dangers to employees by using this warning system. Additionally, we should be aware of the appropriateness of bags, containers, storage units and other protective covers to ensure they fully protect employees from exposure to the contents, as well as meeting OSHA criteria.

All employees need to be very careful handling sharps to minimize risks to themselves and coworkers. The attention, awareness and attitude that lend themselves to safe practice can only be developed through thorough training and following correct procedures. If you have an accident/injury, report it immediately and follow your hospital's Exposure Control Plan. Many resources are available to further your learning in this area. If you are uncomfortable with your knowledge of infection control, Universal Precautions, sharps handling, etc., check with your supervisor, hospital library, and infection control staff for reference materials to increase your level of understanding.
