How is it different from universal precautions?

How is it different from UP?

I agree with the previous person's question. I'm in Healthcare in Canada and we simply use "Universal Precautions". That is, we treat all body fluids as potentially infectious. As far as I can see, UP and BSI mean the same thing, just that the UP term is newer--no matter what all my (American) texts say. If someone has a definitive answer, I'd be happy. Perhaps it is a difference of perspective: one from the bedside and another from those who work with blood/body fluids away from the bedside? I know that adopting UP does NOT mean we glove and gown before going into *every* patient room. Confusing.
