Does any one knows about universal precaution?

Yes--Universal Precautions are used in hospitals on all patients.

The protocol contains the following things:
Wash your hands before every patient
Wear gloves when there is obvious bodily fluid or excretions in site.
Wear goggles and a gown if these fluids could hit your eyes and your clothes.
Handle sharps such as needles and scalpels by placing them in a container made for them after use.


Basically, it is kind of common sense
