Knowledge and attitude of health care workers regarding blood borne pathogensicsp
This study assessed the knowledge and attitudes of 200 healthcare workers in Karachi, Pakistan regarding bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. The study found that overall knowledge about transmission and prevention of bloodborne diseases was moderate, with nurses displaying the highest level of knowledge and paramedical staff the lowest. The study also found significant misconceptions among healthcare workers about risk factors and appropriate follow up procedures following needlestick injuries. The conclusions indicate a need for improved training for healthcare workers on bloodborne pathogens and protocols after exposure incidents.
The document discusses bloodborne pathogens and safety protocols for employees of Chesapeake Medical Staffing. It covers mandatory training on bloodborne pathogens, personal protective equipment (gloves, gowns, masks, etc.), standard precautions to treat all blood and body fluids as infectious, and procedures for exposure incidents. The two main bloodborne pathogens discussed are hepatitis B and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), along with their transmission routes and related safety practices.
The document provides an overview of changes to Michigan's Hazard Communication Standard to align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). It discusses new requirements for labels, safety data sheets, and employee training. Labels will use standardized pictograms, signal words, and hazard statements. Safety data sheets will have a new 16-section format. Employers and employees must be trained on the new labeling and safety data sheet requirements by certain deadlines.
Webinar describes about various blood-borne pathogens, the risks when exposed to these materials, the ways to handle and protect yourself from exposure.
This document discusses evaluating and treating patients with mental illness in long-term care settings. It outlines several challenges in evaluating patients with mental illness, both from the patient and therapist perspective. It recommends establishing rapport, being patient, and not reacting negatively to behaviors. The document also provides examples of areas to assess, tools to use, treatment approaches like limit setting and redirection, safety considerations, documenting progress and goals, and discharge planning. The overall message is that patients with mental illness require compassionate and skilled intervention to address their needs.
Standard operating procedures_for_laboratory_servicesFahrudin Yusuf
This document provides standard operating procedures for laboratory services at Coast Provincial General Hospital's antiretroviral therapy program in Kenya. It was prepared in collaboration with the hospital's laboratory department and the Rational Pharmaceutical Management Plus Program with support from USAID. The document includes procedures for processing hematology and clinical chemistry specimens, criteria for rejecting specimens, correcting erroneous reports, identifying critical lab values, specimen collection and handling, blood collection techniques, post-exposure prophylaxis, quality control of equipment and reagents, and handling and disposal of biohazardous waste.
The document provides training on the use of filtering facepiece respirators, also known as dust masks, in the workplace. It explains that dust masks are required for certain job tasks and locations to protect workers from dust and particles. The training covers dust mask selection, proper fitting and use, limitations, care and replacement. Medical evaluation and fit testing are also discussed. The goal is to ensure workers understand proper respirator use to protect their health.

Merkuri sulfat (HgSO4) adalah bahan kimia beracun yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan organ parah dan kematian jika tertelan, terhirup, atau kontak dengan kulit dan mata. Paparan kronis dapat menyebabkan gangguan sistem saraf pusat dan kerusakan ginjal. Langkah keselamatan harus diambil untuk mencegah paparan, termasuk menggunakan ventilasi yang memadai dan peralatan pelindung diri.
OSHA Hazard Communication and Global Harmonization System (GHS)Elena Fracassa
This training explains the recent changes to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, including compliance with the Global Harmonization System of hazard identification, container labeling, and Safety Data Sheets.
This document provides an overview and summary of changes to Michigan's Hazard Communication Standard to align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Key points include:
- Safety Data Sheets will change from MSDS format to a new 16-section SDS format. Labels will include new pictograms, signal words, and hazard and precautionary statements.
- Manufacturers, importers, distributors and employers have compliance deadlines for the new GHS requirements between 2013-2016.
- Employees will receive additional training on the new SDS format and label elements to help them understand chemical hazards.
- Several other MIOSHA standards involving hazardous chemicals and sign
This document outlines the requirements of the Los Angeles Unified School District's Hazard Communication Program. It is designed to protect employees from hazardous chemicals by informing them of chemical hazards and providing training. The program requires a written plan, material safety data sheets, labeling of chemicals, an inventory, and employee training. Training covers hazards of chemicals used on site, protective measures, the labeling system, and documentation is required.

The summary provides an overview of the key differences between the Hazard Communication System (HAZCOM) and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). HAZCOM currently requires hazard information and labels for chemicals in the US, while GHS aims to standardize this globally through harmonized criteria, labels, and safety data sheet formats. GHS implementation is ongoing, with a final US rule expected in the next 18 months. Companies can begin preparing by obtaining GHS labels, reformatting safety data sheets, and training workers on the new standardized system.
