1. For small spills, disposable gloves are all that are needed. Show
2. Mask, eyewear and gown should be used if clean up is expected to generate infectious aerosols or splashing. 1. Absorbent material is needed to contain the spill and to remove organic material. 3. HBV and HIV are readily inactivated with a variety of germicides. Sodium hypochlorite solutions are inexpensive broad-spectrum germicidal solutions. Solutions of 1:10 to 1:100 are effective depending on
the amount of organic material (blood, mucus and urine) but 1:10 is most widely used and recommended. c. Commercially prepared kits usually have powder to solidify spill, scoop to pick it up, PPE and other materials needed for disinfection. Review terms and
