Personnel of PSI and its subcontractors shall adhere to the blood-borne pathogen standard as codified in 29 CFR Sect. 1910.1030. If personnel must have contact with the victim's blood or other potentially infectious materials or contaminated surfaces, they must wear a pair of latex gloves at a minimum. If personnel are performing CPR, they must wear a pocket mask or equivalent level of protection. If an employee's or subcontractor's skin or eyes come into contact with blood, the individual must wash the affected area with soap and water and/or continuously flush the eyes for 15 minutes as soon as possible. In addition, workers must wash their hands immediately or as soon as feasible after removing PPE. If soap and water are not immediately available, workers may use other hand-washing measures such as moist wipes.

If the clothing comes in contact with blood, workers must remove it immediately or as soon as feasible.
