The OSHA Definition for Medicine
By Patricia A. Trites; MPA, CHBC, CHCC, CMP™ (Hon)
Dr. Charles F. Fenton, III; JD, FACFAS
Hope Rachel Hetico; RN, MHA, CMP™
OSHA defines universal precautions (sometimes referred to as “normal precautions”) as an approach to infection control whereby all human blood and certain human body fluids are treated as if known to be infected by HIV, HBV [hepatitis], or other blood borne pathogens.
Assessment
Universal precautions must be observed to prevent contact with blood; or; Other Potentially Infectious Materials [OPIM]. Under circumstances in which differentiation between body fluid types is difficult or impossible, all body fluids should be considered potentially infectious.
