Bloodborne pathogens — microorganisms in human blood and bodily fluids that can cause disease — pose serious risks to Canadian workers in healthcare, emergency services, personal care, custodial work, and body art. The most concerning are Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B (HBV), and Hepatitis C (HCV), but many other pathogens can be transmitted through blood contact. Under BC OHS Regulation Part 6 (Substance Specific Requirements — Biological Agents), employers must implement Exposure Control Plans and provide documented training to workers at risk of occupational exposure.

Universal Precautions is sometimes expanded to Standard Precautions in healthcare settings, adding respiratory precautions and other elements.
Time matters after a potential exposure. Take these steps IMMEDIATELY:
