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.
Mention Idaho, and the common reply is âthe potato state.â What you wonât hear is âOh, Idaho, famous for milk and cheese!â But thatâs equally true. Especially in southern Idaho, where there are more dairy farms than anywhere else in the state. A massive amount of milk is produced in southern Idaho. Over 76% of Idahoâs dairies are located here, producing 34 million pounds of milk every day at a value of over $4 billion. Thatâs 75% of Idahoâs total milk production, putting Idaho in the #4 spot for U.S. milk production and #3 for cheese production.
