Wireline network. A wireline network includes interlinked connection and redistribution systems. The network allows informationâlike voice and dataâto travel electronically. Traditionally, local and long distance telephonyâincluding voice calls, messaging, and faxâwere the primary wireline services.
Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Needlesticks and other sharps-related injuries may expose workers to bloodborne pathogens.
There are several diseases that are caused by blood borne pathogens (BBP's). While many BBP's are fairly exotic and you may never encounter them, a few BBP's are fairly common and present a risk to you if you come in direct contact with potentially infectious materials such as human blood and certain body fluids.
