1.

the first step is to stop and survey the area of spills whether is there any blood or other
materials that might harm us.
2. Next, find the equipment like a biosafety spill kit at least we need a lab coat, gloves, and eye
protection to ensure our safety during clean up.
3. If there any sharp around the spill, pick them up with either tongs or tweezers and placed
them in a sharp container. Just be sure to use something that will effectively separate your
skin from the sharp.
4. If there is a lot of blood, remember that more spilled material equals more splatter, so use
additional protection if needed including disposable overalls, booties or face shields,
5. The next step is clean up. Before cleaning any bloodborne pathogenic material, use your
tongs or other tool to remove any sharp pieces.
6. Then, carefully cover the spills with absorbent towels making sure to leave them out in a
single layer. Spray a tuberculotal disinfectant onto the towel, making sure to use enough to
soak through. Allow time for the disinfectant to work, which is usually around 10 minutes.
7. Wipe up the spills from the outside in. if sharp are present, use something other than your
hands. Smaller pieces may still be present even after large pieces have been cleaned up.
8. Repeat the steps until no materials is left.
9. Disinfect the spill area again and allow time for the disinfectant to work before wiping with
paper towels one more time.
10. The next step is to dispose of the waste.
11. After the spill is cleaned up in paper towels and other waste is dispose of, spray the outside
of the sharp container, the biohazard bag, and the tongs with disinfectant.
12. Remove PPE starting with gloves, then the lab coat and then the eye protection. If your
hands become contaminated in the process, be sure to wash them before removing another
piece of PPE.
13. Lastly, wash our hands one more time after all PPE is removed.
