Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Engineering controls include ventilation, chemical hoods, safe storage and disposal equipment. Administrative controls include written safety plans, training, and recordkeeping. Safe work practices involve following best practices and using PPE when required. PPE includes gloves, masks, gowns, respirators, and protective eyewear.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Engineering controls such as sharps containers reduce the risk of needlestick hazards, and hand hygiene stations with alcohol rubs prevent transmission. Administrative controls should include providing employee training workshops on blood-borne pathogens. Employees should read and follow safe work practices, for example, making sure sharps containers are not already full before beginning a phlebotomy. Personal protective equipment such as gloves need to be worn appropriately to prevent transmission of pathogens in blood and body fluids.
