Success
OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Training course is designed to provide a basic understanding of OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), its scope, bloodborne diseases, their modes of transmission and prevention, and other pertinent information.
Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans. These pathogens are transmitted from one infected individual to another through blood and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM). These pathogens include (but are not limited to) hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard prescribes guidelines and safeguards to protect workers who are exposed to health hazards related to bloodborne pathogens. Furthermore, the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act of 2000 modified OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard by requiring employers to identify, evaluate, and implement safer medical devices, such as needleless systems and sharps with engineered sharps protections. The Act also mandated additional requirements for maintaining a sharps injury log and for the involvement of non-managerial healthcare workers in identifying, evaluating, and choosing effective engineering and work practice controls.
The bloodborne pathogens standard applies to workers in many occupations, including first responders, housekeeping personnel, nurses and other healthcare personnel, laundry personnel, and many other workers who may encounter blood or OPIM in occupational settings.
