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.
