Bloodborne Pathogens Injury Log

While prevention is the first line of defense, you also need to be prepared in case bloodborne pathogens (BBPs) injuries and incidents occur at your workplace. As with other serious health and safety incidents, you should keep detailed records of BBP exposure incidents, that is, percutaneous injuries to workers caused by a needle, syringe, scalpel, broken glass, or other sharp that was or may have been contaminated by blood or other potentially infectious materials. One effective approach, which is mandatory in BC, NWT, NU, and SK, is to maintain an injury log for all BBPs exposure incidents. Here’s a BBPs Injury Log template that you can adapt. Just be sure your own version lists key information, including:

  • The date and time of the exposure incident;
  • The department or work area in which the exposure incident occurred;
  • The type and brand of the device involved in the exposure incident; and
  • An explanation of how the exposure incident occurred.
