What is engineering control?

A

Primarily accomplished through design and advance planning,

Should be approved by Safety and Industrial Hygiene before implementing.

136
Q

What are the two types of engineering controls?

A

Isolation,

Ventilation.

137
Q

What is isolation?

A

Physical separation of a hazard from personnel to eliminate or minimize contact. Involves the use of a barrier.

138
Q

What are some examples of isolation barriers?

A

Physical barrier - (machine guards),

Time barrier (timed operation of semi-automatic equipment),

Distance barrier - (remote control).

139
Q

What is ventilation?

A

The control of potentially hazardous airborne substances through the movement of air.

140
Q

What are some examples of ventilation?

A

General Ventilation,

Local Exhaust Ventilation.

141
Q

What is general ventilation?

A

Or “dilution ventilation” is the dilution of the concentration of an airborne substance by mixing it with uncontaminated air.

142
Q

What is local exhaust ventilation?

A

Is the removal of an airborne substance at its source or point of generation.

143
Q

What is administrative controls?

A

Employs special operating procedures to reduce the exposure of individuals to hazards.

144
Q

What are examples of administrative controls?

A

Limiting access to high hazard areas,

Adjusted work schedules.

145
Q

What is PPE?

A

Personal Protective Equipment,

Personnel wear special equipment to prevent/reduce exposure to a hazard.

146
Q

What is the least preferred method of hazard control?

A

PPE,

Exposure can occur upon breakdown or failure of PPE,

PPE reduces worker’s productivity.

147
Q

PPE can be used in conjunction with what?

A

Other abatement measures.

148
Q

What are blood borne pathogens?

A

Are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans.

149
Q

Examples of blood borne pathogens include what?

A

Hepatitis B (HBV),

Hepatitis C (HCV),

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

150
Q

Medical Surveillance Criteria for blood borne pathogens?

A

All Sailors reasonably anticipated to be at risk for exposure to contaminated blood/body fluids via:

Eyes,

Skin,

Mucus Membranes,

Parenteral routes.

151
Q

What is required for blood borne pathogen medical surveillance?

A

Baseline: Blood borne pathogen education,

Administration of Hepatitis B vaccination series (only for those not immune).

152
Q

What is the process when you get exposed to a blood borne pathogen?

A

Required Medical History,

Detailed history of exposure to determine health risk,

Verification of Hepatitis B immunity,

Immediate cleansing specific to the type of exposure,

Testing of blood for Hepatitis B and C,

Serological status’ testing of source’s blood for HIV,

Hepatitis B and C infectivity.

153
Q

What is the written opinion for a blood borne pathogen exposure?

A

Whether Hepatitis B vaccination is indicated and received,

Member informed of results of evaluation,

Member counseled regarding the risk associated with the specific exposure.

154
Q

Written opinion blood borne pathogen member counseling on what?

A

Member counseled on post-exposure prophylaxis efficacy,

Indications of initiation,

Timing of initiation,

Regimen selection as soon as possible.

155
Q

How soon after a blood borne pathogen exposure do you start HIV post- exposure prophylaxis?

A

The goal is to start within 1 to 2 hours after exposure.
