In short

  • Never recap a used needle. Put sharps in the sharps container right away.
  • After a needlestick or splash, wash the area and call your supervisor at once, at any hour.
  • Get medical evaluation the same day so treatment can start fast.
  • The hepatitis B vaccine is free. If you decline, you sign a form and can change your mind later.
  • Bloodborne pathogens training is at hire and every year.
