Universal Precautions

English to Spanish Medical Other
I am translating a document that has to do with Bloodborne Pathogen Standard training for employees. The document says that one of the things that will be explained is "Universal Precautions". I know what it means because the document explains it later but I don't know if this is a term used in Spanish "Precauciones Universales"
