REVISED SEPTEMBER, 2002
BERKELEY COUNTY RESCUE SQUAD- MEMBERS HANDBOOK 1/16/2007
Chapter 8: Infection Control Plan
18
8 INFECTION CONTROL PLAN FEBRUARY 1994 PURPOSE In accordance with the following stale and federal regulations: Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulation 29 CFR Part 1910.1030; Occupational Exposure to Blood-borne Pathogens; Final Rule, and South Carolina Department of Labor, Chapter 71, Statutory Authority: 1976 Code Section 41-15- 210; Article 1, Sub-article 6, Section 1910.1030; Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens; Final Rule. This document is to serve as policy regarding infection control issues concerning Berkeley County Rescue personnel. In addition to complying with these state and federal mandated guidelines, this document also follows recommendations issued by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). INTRODUCTION To ensure protection from the spread of communicable diseases in the workplace, the CDC has developed a set of” Universal Blood and Body Fluid Precautions” under which blood and certain body fluids from any patient are considered potentially infectious for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (fly), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), and other blood-borne pathogens. It is policy for all Berkeley County Rescue personnel to follow these “Universal Precautions” when dealing with the following body fluids: -
BLOOD SEMEN VAGINAL SECRETIONS CEREBROSPINAL FLUID (CSF) SYNO VIAL FLUID PLEURAL FLUID PERITONEAL FLUID PERICARDIAL FLUID AMNIOTIC FLUID ANY OTHER BODY FLUID CONTAINING FRANK OR VISIBLE
BLOOD
Universal Precautions do not apply to feces, nasal secretions, sputum, sweat, tears, urine, or vomit unless visible or suspected blood is present. Because Berkeley County Rescue personnel routinely function in less than optimal or in uncontrolled environments, all bodily fluids will be treated as hazardous. As well, any materials that come in contact with blood, other bodily fluids, or tissues will be considered to be contaminated and are to be handled as such.
BERKELEY COUNTY RESCUE SQUAD- MEMBERS HANDBOOK 1/16/2007
Chapter 8: Infection Control Plan
19
It should also be noted that certain diseases such as encephalitis, meningitis, some types of hepatitis and chicken pox can be contracted through body fluids not containing blood. Be alert for victims with presenting symptoms of communicable disease, and if in, doubt, use protective equipment. EMPLOYEE COMPLIANCE This policy has been implemented to promote employee and patient safety in the Emergency Management Setting. The Infection Control guidelines contained within have been developed extensively and compliance is expected. Failure to comply will bring potential injury to victims and rescue personnel alike and will create unnecessary liability for our service. Non-compliance will result in disciplinary action. Although employees will not be required to recite each policy verbatim, it is required that all personnel know the context of each portion of this policy. PERSONNEL MUST BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS POLICY AND MUST ALSO BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE PROFICIENCY IN CARRYING OUT STANDARD INFECTION CONTROL PROCEDURES AT ANY TIME. GENERAL GUIDELINES -

Hand washing is the single most important means of preventing the spread of infection. Berkeley County Rescue Members personnel must wash their hands: -
WHEN HANDS ARE OBVIOUSLY SOILED AFTER REMOVING GLOVES AFTER HANDLING ANY CONTAMINATED MATERIALS AND OR EQUIPMENT BEFORE EATING AFTER EVERY CALL WHERE VICTIM CONTACT HAS BEEN MADE.
Physical scrubbing with soap and water and tepid water is the proper method for hand washing. Use of a brush is recommended when scrubbing under nails and hand surfaces that are badly soiled. If there has been direct contact with body fluids, or if the victim has a known communicable disease, chemical soil removal may also be desirable. Use of an EPA approved antiseptic solution should be implemented after routine hand washing. Always wash hands after victim contact. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Protective equipment will provide for use by all personnel during the performance of their duties. It is the responsibility of the service to provide the equipment. It is the responsibility of the personnel to protect themselves by using it. Gloves, masks, gowns and eye wear are to placed in vehicles and boats where they are readily accessible should the need arise to use them. They should be periodically checked to ensure that they are in good condition. A member may temporary and briefly decline to use personal protective equipment; when under rare and extraordinary circumstances it is in the member’s judgment that use of the equipment would prevent adequate delivery of care or impose an undue safety hazard. If such an incident occurs, it will be investigated to determine: -
If the members declination of use was warranted. If changes can be instituted in the future to prevent reoccurrence of a similar incidence.
In all circumstances, the member will don the appropriate protective gear in question once the obstacle or safety hazard is no longer exists.

Non sterile disposable gloves must be worn for each victim contact or procedures in which body fluids may be contacted. Leather work gloves will be worn over disposable gloves any in situations where contact with rough or sharp edges is likely to occur. Disposable gloves will also be worn when cleaning all contaminated or potentially contaminated equipment. Gloves are to be replaced immediately if they become torn, cracked or punctured. Contaminated gloves must be removed and disposed of with EMS or Roper Berkeley Center when the call is complete. MASKS In situations where aerosolization or splash of contaminated fluid or material may contact the mucous membrane of the mouth and nose, a surgical type mask must be worn. Victims with a known or suspected communicable disease should have a mask placed on them unless the victim’s respiratory status is in any way unstable. PROTECTIVE EYE WEAR Safety glasses, goggles or eye shield/mask combinations approved by the service must be worn when contamination of the eyes via aerosolization or splash is possible. Personnel who wear eyeglasses must wear approved eye protection over their glasses when exposed to these outlined hazards. GOWNS Disposable gowns should be worn any time that contamination of personnel uniforms/clothing and or unprotected skin is likely to occur. HANDLING OF SYRINGES AND NEEDLES (SHARPS) It is not within the normal scope of our care to be responsible for sharps, however since EMS is often called to our call to care for the rescued victims we may encounter needles and or syringes. In the event that you find a sharp, contact the EMS crew prior to their leaving the scene and report it to them. If they have left the scene, pick up the sharp with a gloved hand and placed it in a puncture resistant container for transport to Roper Berkeley Center for proper disposal. DO NOT THROW THE SHARPS IN THE TRASH. All sharps must be disposed of properly. Do not attempt to recap bend or break off any needle. Remove gloves and wash hands thoroughly after contact with sharps. Treat and report all injuries from sharps as outlined “CONTACT EXPOSURE AND INJURY”.
