This SOP also <br /> identifies medical follow-up, documentation, recordkeeping and confidentiality <br /> requirements. <br /> Compliance Methods: <br /> • Universal precautions will be observed at this facility in order to prevent contact <br /> with blood or other potentially infectious materials. All blood or other potentially <br /> infectious material will be considered infectious regardless of the perceived <br /> status of the source individual. <br /> • Engineering and work practice controls will be utilized to eliminate or minimize <br /> exposure to employees at this facility. Engineering controls are the primary <br /> means of eliminating or minimizing employee exposure and include the use of <br /> safer medical devices, such as needle-less devices, shielded needle devices, <br /> and plastic capillary tubes. Medical devices with engineered sharps injury <br /> protections and needle-less systems constitute an effective engineering control <br /> and must be used where feasible. <br /> Revised July,2018 <br />
