The Madison Metropolitan School District has a BBP Exposure Control Plan. The plan provides information that employees need to limit and prevent exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials at work. A copy of this plan is located in every District building, in both the main office and health office.
Designated employees listed below must:
All other employees
Training is not mandatory; however, you are strongly encouraged to complete BBP training as soon as possible after your first date of employment.
Employees not listed in the above categories may occasionally provide care to injured persons or clean up body fluid spills. Exposure to bloodborne pathogens can be avoided by strict adherence to standard precautions, work practice controls, and use of personal protective equipment (explained in the training session). If you believe that your job puts you at risk of regular and routine exposure to bloodborne pathogens, talk with the school nurse to discuss the need for Hepatitis B vaccination. If you have a significant exposure at school, you can be protected from Hepatitis B through post-exposure treatment.*
*It is important to remember that certain bloodborne infections cannot be prevented by vaccination. Knowledge of and adherence to standard precautions are essential to interrupting the transmission of bloodborne pathogens in any setting. If you have any questions or concerns, discuss them with the school nurse or contact Sally Zirbel-Donisch, Health Services, at 663-8427.
