The term "universal precautions" is used to describe how to prevent contamination when dealing with potential pathogens. Basically, treat every body substance as if it is trying to kill you. Use BSI/PPE (body substance isolation / Personal protective equipment) such as gloves, goggles, gown, splash shield, etc. to prevent contamination. Proper hand washing is also vitally important. If it's wet, warm and not yours, don't touch it.
