              Team members are required to report any incident of exposure to blood or OPIM to their
              immediate supervisor. Additionally, the team member is required to complete an Exposure
              Control Incident Report. The team member can obtain a copy of the exposure control
              incident report from the Chief Financial Officer.

              The completed Exposure Control Incident Report must be turned in to the Chief Financial
              Officer within 1 hour of the exposure incident.

              An Exposure Incident Occurs when a team member comes in direct contact with or thinks they
              may have come in direct contact with another person’s blood or OPIM.  Should a team member
              wearing  personal  protective  equipment  (i.e.  Gloves)  get  blood  on  the  personal  protective
              equipment, an exposure incident would only occur if the personal protective equipment were
              to be breached in some manner (i.e. A torn or broken glove).  Failure to report an exposure
              incident and/or complete and turn in the Exposure Control Incident Report as outlined
              above will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

              has not been previously vaccinated against Hepatitis B) and a medical evaluation performed by
              a licensed medical professional.  The team member has the right to decline any, or all of the
              above  if  they  so  choose.    The  team  member  is  required  to  complete  an  Exposure  Control
              Consent Form indicating the choices they have made.
