Many bloodborne infections have no cure. Universal precautions and proper bodily fluid cleanup are important to protect ourselves and those around us. This course covers what measures to take prior to, or in case of, exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
OSHA requires bloodborne pathogens training for every employee you reasonably anticipate will have contact with blood or other potentially infectious sustances. Training is good for one calendar year.
The course agenda includes:
- Defining bloodborne pathogens
- Preventative and control measures
- Vaccination options
- Universal precautions
- Engineering control
- Work practice controls
- Housekeeping practices
- Personal Protective Equipment
- Waste disposal and contaminated laundry practices
- Exposure incident protocol
