 Standard Precautions and Bloodborne Pathogens in
Early Childhood Settings
Following standard
precautions is essential in preventing the spread of disease.
Participant discussion includes the causes of disease, how germs
are spread, and ways to prevent the spread of disease in
childcare.
OSHA standards
require that all employees with occupational exposure
participate in a training program which is provided at no cost
to the employee and during working hours. Training must be
provided at the time of initial assignment to tasks where
occupational exposure may take place and at least annually
thereafter. Employers also must provide additional training
when changes, such as modification of tasks or procedures or
institution of new tasks or procedures, affect the employee's
occupational exposure. The additional training may be limited
to addressing the new exposures created. (For example, if a
caregiver takes on new responsibilities for a child with special
medical needs.)
