Bloodborne and Airborne Pathogen Exposure Follow-up Services


What do you do when an accidental needle stick occurs? What measures should be taken when a worker is exposed to blood or bodily fluids? Is your company prepared to react quickly and effectively to protect your employees?

These are questions many companies must address as an increasingly large segment of the work population runs the risk of exposure to bloodborne and airborne pathogens. In light of how grave such exposure can be, special handling is needed and, in most cases, mandated by OSHA and the Centers for Disease Control.

Through our Bloodborne and Airborne Pathogen Exposure Follow-up Service, Corporate Wellness provides several levels of assistance ensuring that you and your employees have someone to turn to for immediate help.

Since timing is crucial in cases of exposure, a Corporate Wellness case manager is on call and available to your company 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This gives the employee a dependable, single point of contact for information when an accidental exposure such as a needle stick occurs. This includes information on:

  • Testing
  • Physician selection options
  • Treatment options
  • Risk of infection or PPD conversion
  • Prevention of transmission
  • Recommended post-exposure prophylaxis
  • Ongoing follow-up at appropriate intervals

OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard became effective in 1992. Although specifically aimed at the health care industry, the number of industries and businesses affected is enormous and compliance can be complex and costly.
