Bloodborne Pathogens

Central Texas College District strives to provide the safest learning environment possible. However, you must accept responsibility for minimizing your exposure to blood-borne pathogens by reporting all potentially unsafe conditions and by practicing this universal precaution: Treat all human blood and certain human body fluids as infectious for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, the Hepatitis B Virus, and other blood-borne pathogens.

A sharps container is available in the Department of Health Sciences in Central Campus, Nursing Labs, for those individuals having a medically documented need for injections while on Institutional grounds (i.e. insulin injections.) All contaminated needles or sharps are to be placed immediately, or as soon as possible, after use into a sharps container. Do not dispose of needles or sharps in trash containers.
