Infectious Disease Policy

Every volunteer is required to view the AIDS Awareness video. The following policy is to safeguard your health and the health of the adults and children using our facility.

Remember that blood, vomit or other body fluids are potentially hazardous to the health of individuals coming into contact with them.

When dealing with a situation that involves bleeding, vomiting, etc., do the following:

• Put on disposable gloves before touching any bodily fluid. Gloves are kept in the storage bins of every classroom and in the Oasis storage room.
• Isolate yourself and the children from the bodily fluid.
• Deal with wounds and/or lesions using standard first-aid procedures.
• After dealing with the immediate problem, notify your CT Director who will then notify the facilities team.
• Remove gloves without touching bare skin to outside of glove. Dispose of gloves into a lined wastebasket.
• Wash hands thoroughly.

NOTE: In the event that you do not have time to put on a pair of gloves, such as in an emergency situation, place any barrier that is available (e.g., towels/paper towels/ papers, etc.) between your hands and the body fluid. Once you are able, IMMEDIATELY wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Remember that any object "mouthed" by a child (or adult!) is considered contaminated and must be disinfected before it comes in contact with someone else. Team members dealing with babies, toddlers and preschoolers need to conscientiously follow health guidelines.

Disposable gloves are to be worn when changing diapers and dealing with all body fluids.
