Bloodborne Pathogens/Infection Control

Bloodborne Pathogens/Infection Control

Tuberculosis, Bloodborne Pathogens (HIV, HBV, HCV) and other contagious diseases

SUNY Geneseo recognizes that its greatest assets, the students, faculty and staff are among the populations with low, but still measurable, occurrences of HIV, HBV, HCV and Tuberculosis, MRSA and various influenzas.  

To reduce the possibility of spread of these and other disease causing pathogens, the campus has developed an Exposure Control Plan.

Cleanup of vomit is not without risk to the custodians or others involved.  A procedure for vomit in campus buildings was developed to protect all campus personnel.

Additional information on these and other diseases is available at Lauderdale Student Health and Counseling Center or the CDC website. 

Information on Sharps Shelters

What is a Sharps Shelter?  A Sharps Shelter or Sharps Container is a container, usually made of hard plastic, used for the disposal of used needles and syringes so needles don't pierce it.  Improperly discarded sharps can be dangerous!

Where can I find these on campus?  In general, sharps shelters are located in the restrooms located closest to the main entrance of a building.  See below for exact locations.  Additionally, portable sharps shelters are also available for student use, obtained from the Lauderdale Health Center.  Have questions on other Regulated Medical Wastes?
