Bloodborne Pathogens Training Course Description
The International CPR Institute’s Bloodborne Pathogens Course covers the Federal OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, which requires employers to safeguard workers who may be exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials such as certain tissues and body fluids via hazards like inadvertent needle sticks.
The standard applies to doctors, nurses, paramedics, medical assistants, tattoo artists, pharmacists and anyone who is exposed to blood or bodily fluids in the workplace. The course is updated with all the latest guidelines for 2024.
The original Standard was introduced in 1991 to establish procedures to protect healthcare workers during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, it covers other bloodborne pathogens too – like Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. Many phlebotomists, lab techs and tattoo artists also required to take our Bloodborne Pathogens online training course.
The standard was amended by the 2000 Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act, which established provisions for exposure control plans, engineering and work practice controls, hepatitis vaccinations, hazard communication and training, and recordkeeping.
Our Bloodborne Pathogens course will school you in the precautions needed to reduce the risk of infectious diseases. It covers everything from personal protective equipment to the proper handling of potential contaminants, to the recording of employee puncture wounds from contaminated sharps.
You’ll learn how to properly clean and dispose of hazardous materials, how infectious disease spreads, which diseases are transmitted via contact with blood and body fluids, the chain of infection, how to reduce your risk, and what to do if an exposure incident occurs.
A simple exam consisting of 25 multiple-choice questions will ensure you’re ready to safely work around bloodborne pathogens.
The Bloodborne Pathogens online training course takes about two to three hours to complete. The Bloodborne Pathogens Certificate is good for one year and can be printed out immediately after completing the online program.
You’ll also receive unlimited access to our continuously updated online resources for bloodborne pathogens training for the next year, at no additional charge.
