Hazard Recognition. The CDC estimates that 5.6 million workers in the health care industry and related occupations are at risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and others.
The other dairy I visited is called Fair Oaks Farms. Owned by nine families, it is located near an interstate highway that bisects flat corn, alfalfa, and soybean fields in Indiana. Fair Oaks is one of the largest dairy farms in the United States. It houses 30,000 cows and produces enough milk to slake the thirst of the entire city of Chicago, which is located 75 miles to the north.
Holy cow again! The most popular dairy breed in American is the Holstein. It takes about 350 squirts to get a gallon of milk from a cow, and most cows are milked twice a day. It takes 3 gallons of milk to make 1 gallon of ice cream, and 30 cups of milk to make one pound of butter.
