As an emergency worker i was at an accident last night and my overalls got an amount of blood on them - (6 hours ago) are they safe to reuse?

Laundry --> no risk: Probably no risk of any blood borne infection. For sure no risk if you launder them. If still worried, check with your agency's infection control professionals.
