Health Hazard: If you really work in a place with blood spills then you may want to find another job. This dangerous workplace is breaking so many health and safety rules. Now, if this story is embellished and you are just around a lot of blood that is properly in their containers and testing apparatus then following the universal precautions and guidelines will protect you 100% from unnecessary exposure.

See doc: If the fear is grounded, report it to your management and have them intervene and remedy the situation. If it is just your anxiety over potential exposure, you will need to see doc to discuss ways to overcome it.
