PPE must be worn when there is risk of exposure to blood or body fluids including body cavity fluids, amniotic fluid, semen, or vaginal secretions. Gloves are worn when performing phlebotomy when the healthcare worker has scratches, abrasions, or broken skin on the hands, if the worker judges that hand contamination with blood may occur, during phlebotomy training, and when performing finger or heel sticks on infants and children. Gowns, mask, and protective eyewear should be worn when there is risk of splashes of blood or body fluids. Additionally, gloves and mask must be worn during lumbar punctures or spinal injections to prevent meningitis.
