Abstract A spill of any hazardous substance on your site can pollute the environment if it is not dealt with properly. A spill outdoors may run straight into the storm water system and pollute the nearest stream, river, beach or groundwater - unless you know what to do and do it immediately. Body fluid spills such as blood, urine, and vomitus pose significant risks for the transmission of infections in healthcare settings. Proper management of these spills is essential for preventing healthcare-associated infections and ensuring occupational safety. Class IV workers play a crucial role in maintaining hospital hygiene and are often the first responders to such spills; however, their knowledge regarding appropriate spill management practices is often overlooked.
The findings revealed that 81% of the participants had adequate knowledge regarding body fluid spill management, while 19% had moderate knowledge. None of the participants demonstrated inadequate knowledge. A significant association was found between knowledge level and clinical experience (p < 0.05), whereas age, gender, and educational status showed no significant association with knowledge level.
