A Growing Need for
Germ Protection

"Workers in the Community Services Industry often care for people with infectious diseases. Therefore, cleanliness and hygiene are very important measurers in preventing the spread of infection."

Within the Community Services Industry, the transmission of disease may be a hazard. It is important that you take the necessary steps to ensure your own safety and the safety of others both in the workplace and the wider community.

Workers who are regularly exposed to blood and body substances at work may be at increased risk of transmission of infectious diseases such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes the disease known as AIDS.

Certain occupations are at higher risk of acquiring or transmitting infectious diseases. Groups of workers who are at risk include health care workers, laboratory workers, police officers, prison officers, child care workers, caregivers of the intellectually handicapped, sewerage workers and plumbers.

Also at risk are workers working in areas where infectious disease is common (both locally and overseas), or where hygiene and sanitation is poor, such as the military or Peace Corps Volunteers.

_________________________________

These practical hygiene steps should be taken to ensure your safety and the safety of others:

Hands must always be washed between contacts with clients (Prisoners, patients, residents etc.), and before eating or drinking;
Wearing protective gloves substantially reduces the risk of hands being contaminated with infected blood and body substances. Therefore, gloves must be made readily available to all relevant workers;
Gloves should be worn when dealing with blood or body substances. Hands must be washed immediately after removing gloves;
Gloves should be changed between treating persons - the wearing of gloves does not prevent cross-infection;
Workers with cuts or abrasions on exposed parts of the body must cover these with waterproof dressings at all times while on duty.
