Procedures For Handling Spills Of Blood/Bodily Fluids

Procedures for handling spills of blood and other bodily fluids
My answer:
Isolate the area.
Wear gloves, a plastic apron and eye protection, such as goggles.
Soak up the fluid with disposable paper towels, or cover the spill with a granular chlorine releasing agent for a minimum of 10 minutes. Scoop up granules and waste using a piece of cardboard (or similar), place in a plastic bag and dispose of appropriately.
Mix one part bleach to10 parts water and apply to the area for 10 minutes.
Wash with hot water and detergent.
Dry the area.
Dispose of paper towelling and gloves appropriately.
Wash your hands.
Rinse any contaminated clothing in cold running water, soak in bleach solution for half an hour, then wash separately from other clothing or linen with hot water and detergent.
