Safety & Training Short: Bloodborne Pathogens - Hepatitis A

Objective: To increase awareness of the health risks and prevention methods associated with Hepatitis A.

Understanding the Dangers
Hepatitis A is a contagious, inflammatory liver disease caused by a virus typically spread through contact with contaminated surfaces or food. The culprits include poor sanitation, contaminated drinking water, poor personal hygiene, and sexual contact.

Hepatitis A isn’t a chronic infection. The disease typically incubates 14-28 days. Most infected people recover from the infection without lasting liver damage and develop immunity to future infection. However, on rare occasions, some people develop severe symptoms or liver issues that may become fatal.
