Bloodborne Pathogen and Occupational Exposures
Occupational Exposures
Bloodborne Pathogen ExposureFormerly known as the "red packet" the forms below contain step-by-step guidance for blood exposures complete with the required source patient lab slip. This is for employees paid directly by UK HealthCare, Eastern State Hospital employees, and students enrolled at the University of Kentucky.

Occupational Exposures (Non-Bloodborne)Formerly known as the "yellow packet" the forms below provide step-by-step guidance on how to create a Workers' Compensation claim for incidents that do not involve a bloodborne pathogen exposure. The forms can only be used by employees paid directly by UK HealthCare and Eastern State Hospital employees.
Employee Health cannot see contracted employees. If a contractor or traveler experiences a non-blood exposure or injury, they will contact the HR department of the company they are paid by to create a Workers’ Compensation claim.
