Bloodborne pathogens

Does anyone else have to study this stuff for work?
What is exudative lesions and weeping dermatitis? Number 10 of our Exposure Control Plan states:
The First Responder with alcohol, Clorox (1:100 dilution ), or a disinfectant, using gloved hands will wipe up blood spills.


Excuse me! Not only no, but HELL NO!!!! That "blood spill" can just sit there quietly and not bother anyone until someone else gets over there and cleans it! But it isn't going to be me! Who writes this stuff?

So the first responder is supposed to clean up while the victim just lies there and bleeds to death? Jeez they would freak out if they saw all of the blood I see 6 days a week that sits on the floor, counter, sink, insturments, you name it until someone has a chance to clean up.

As far as the exudative lesions and weeping dermatitis they are both refering to one thing, the stuff that comes out of a wound; dermatitis can lead to an oozing of bodily fluids without an injury. I dont know if there is a specific condition known as exudative lesions but my reading of it is really any wound that is 'leaking.'

Damn, the worst I have to deal with is someone causing the computer system to crash. That of course requires the first responder to restart the server.

Sure makes you want to be the first one there though so you can get to cleaning doesn't it?
