In short

  • If your job may involve blood, the Agency gives you gloves and other protection free.
  • You are offered the hepatitis B vaccine free within 10 working days of starting. If you say no, you sign a form, and you can change your mind later.
  • After a needlestick, cut or splash: wash or flush right away, then call the RN or the Administrator at once.
  • Get the free, confidential medical check the same day, and fill in the exposure form before your shift ends.
  • You get bloodborne pathogens training when you start and every year.
