Build an exposure-control system
Identify tasks that may involve blood or other potentially infectious material, decide how exposure will be reduced, provide suitable equipment and make the procedure easy for every team member to follow.
Train and refresh
Training should be relevant to each role, supported by induction and refresher sessions, and updated whenever equipment, procedures or legal duties change.
Review incidents and near misses
A good reporting culture helps the studio respond quickly, support the exposed person and correct weaknesses without hiding mistakes or relying on blame.
Authoritative safety references
Course learning should be checked against current official guidance and the rules that apply where you work.
- World Health Organization: standard precautions
- CDC/NIOSH: bloodborne infectious disease risk factors
- United States OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard — relevant in the United States; other countries use their own requirements.
