Clean up

Call the custodian to clean up blood or body fluid spills.
All garments penetrated by blood will be removed as soon as feasible and placed in a plastic bag until they can be cleansed.
All PPE will be cleansed, laundered or disposed of by the employer at no cost to the employee.
Clean contaminated surfaces by first removing visible blood, then disinfect with Virustat 128 (available through your school custodian) or a solution of 1 part household bleach to 10 parts cool water for at least 10 minutes. This solution must be less than 24 hours old.
Reusable items will be sanitized using Virustat 128 or 1:10 bleach/water solution or equivalent.
Red plastic bags that are leak proof are provided to collect bloody waste which is liquid or semi-liquid. When used, these bags will be tied in a knot at the top then disposed of in a biomedical waste box provided by the district's garbage service. Red plastic bags containing bloody waste should not go in the regular garbage.
Items such as tissues, tampons etc. with dried bloody or potentially infectious waste must be double bagged and placed in the regular garbage.
