Management of Biomedical Waste in Florida
Doctors, medical staff, nurses, environmental services employees, and anyone else who comes into contact with biomedical waste harbors some type of fear about being infected with HIV or Hepatitis. Exposure to biomedical waste can cause traumatic injury, both physical and mental, that also carries the risk of life-threatening infections.
This video, produced by the Florida Department of Health, teaches Floridas regulations for the handling, packaging, labeling, and transportation of biomedical, biohazardous, and infectious medical waste.

Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP): A Refresher
Bloodborne pathogens (BBP) are infectious microorganisms which are present in human blood and can cause and spread disease in humans. Workers in numerous occupations, including healthcare personnel, may be at risk for exposure to bloodborne pathogens. The CDC, estimates that 5.6 million employees working in health care and related occupations are at risk for occupational exposure to BBPs.
This course will serve as a refresher on bloodborne pathogens. Youll learn about who is at risk for infection, how infection is spread, and how you can protect yourself and others from BBP exposure. This includes topics such as learning about common bloodborne pathogens, routes of exposure, how infection is spread, best practices for avoiding exposure to bloodborne pathogens, hand hygiene, proper sharps disposal, and personal protective equipment.
By understanding the basics of bloodborne pathogens, healthcare workers can minimize the risk of BBP exposure in the workplace.
