In case I'm forgetting to place this somewhere where I can find it, here it is.
Keep blood dry as possible and keep it free from flaking before beginning work.
If flaked and/or moist upon arrival, alter it before work begins. Remember "moist," not soaked, not dripping.
Wet blood is a hazard.
Altering includes pre-treating for bagging, transport.
"A biological hazard or biohazard is an organism, or substance derived from an organism, that poses a threat to (primarily) human health. This can include medical waste, samples of a microorganism, virus or toxin (from a biological source) that can impact human health. It can also include substances harmful to animals. The term and its associated symbol is generally used as a warning, so that those potentially exposed to the substances will know to take precautions. There is also a biohazard HCS/WHMIS logo which utilizes the same symbol. Wikipedia"
